To maintain an effective and close-knit group, ASB is capped at 12 participants. The trip destination is announced at the first team meeting. 出发前, participants receive training in how to serve effectively and can expect their days on ASB to be full of physical work, reflection and discussion activities, and cultural sightseeing trips.
