    We have got the great support and help from China Concerning next Generation Committee International Friendship Exchange Center and National Education Committee International Education Association. In the last years, we have annually organized 300-400 American educators and senior and junior school students to visit China. In the beginning of 1997, the first delegation of 22 Beijing students successfully visited America for 15 days. To this day, many students from the whole country have experienced much from this interesting program.
    According to the target of Hope Education Foundation, we plan to organize 100-200 good-studying students both in character and scholarships within the scope of nation to America each year. By this way, expand students' knowledge and increase their science & culture character. Meanwhile improve the friendly relations between China-America teenagers.
    In order to achieve this goal, HEF has established a respected reputation in Chinese educational community, including on-going support from Chinese National Education Committee, China National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and National Intelligence Import Office.
