Introduction

In order to define a chosen course for the work being done at Estefa, the founder of the Estefa philosophies, Amer Al-Alim, has combined central themes from many belief systems from around the world. These themes have specific elements in common; for example, they do not arise from vengeance and they do not deny the existence of a spiritual reality. The philosophies give reason to Estefa's existence. In order to define its purpose, its reason for existing, Estefa has an ethical foundation that is not connected to a specific religion. Instead, the ethical foundation lies in a network of philosophies that can co-exist effectively with most personal choices of belief or religion.

The core of Estefa's decision making process is based on the following philosophies:

• The Name, Estefa
• The Ant and the Design
• Optimizing Financial Structures
• The Connection between Art, Culture and a Professional Approach
• Clean Art
• Simplifying Communication
• Progress through Cultural Education and Tolerance
