The organization's work focuses on placing those children with loving and permanent families through international adoptions and providing US host families with cultural experience through our exchange student program. 0 0 1029008 74675 1237358 Great Wall China Adoption (Great Wall)/Children of All Nations (CAN) Program Service Accomplishments in this year: 1. ADOPTION SERVICES. Great Wall/CAN provides adoption services to place unparented children from Asia, Africa, Easter Europe and Latin America with U.S. adoptive families. Our services to the families and children include service planning, screening and selection, service delivery, counseling and post adoption supervision and support. The process is comprised of application, adoption training, home study, assembling documents, filing Immigration and Naturalization Services, filing application with adoption authority of the foreign government, a child assignment, travel orientation, travel to foreign countries, post adoption supervision, and family support. 2. ORPHAN HOSTING PROGRAM. Great Wall/CAN has wonderful hosting programs in the summer and the winter. This program is intended to provide the unparented children an opportunity to live in an American host family for a month. Hosting families also have a chance to bond with the hosted child, and many hosted children end up being adopted by the host families. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was cancelled for 2022. 3. HOMELAND TOUR. Great Wall/CAN organizes homeland tour annually in partnership with the sending country governments. Homeland tour gives the adoptee an opportunity to visit their homeland, visit their former care takers, the orphanages, and town they were born. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was cancelled for 2022. 4. ADOPTEE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM. Great Wall/CAN partners with a partner international adoption agency in Europe and hosts a reciprocal adoptee hosting program during the summer. All participants are Chinese adoptees adopted by families from the US and Europe. Adoptees from the US and Europe are provided a unique and exclusive cultural learning experience. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program was cancelled for 2022. 5. EXCHANGE STUDENT PROGRAM. Designated by U.S. Department of State to be the official sponsor of secondary school exchange visitor program, every school year, we select a group of highly qualified exchange students from different countries to study in the American high schools. Many of the exchange students are hosted by our adoptive families who have adopted from the students' home countries. This is one of the State department public diplomacy programs to promote the cultural and educational exchange between U.S. and the rest of the world. Great Wall/CAN also sends outreach newsletters intended to increase awareness of our cultural exchange program to the public and provide our organization's program news and updates. 6. EDUCATION AND INFORMATION. Throughout the year, Great Wall/CAN provides thorough and individualized adoption information and counseling sessions to the adoptive families interested in learning about international adoptions. The personalized sessions enable us to offer the highest client service to inform and prepare prospective adoptive families. Training programs are held to provide host families in-depth training and understanding of issues related to the children who are institutionalized and challenges the hosting families will experience. Adoption and adoption travel trainings are conducted through our online training courses. We frequently update our online courses to give the most update to date information and preparation to the prospective adoptive families on medical, emotional, parenting issues facing families adopting children from different countries. The online training course curriculum is designed to meet Hague Convention on Protection of Children. Free information e-packet is sent to the prospective families on a daily basis to provide families with current country specific adoption updates, status and policies. We continue to publish news and updates in the format of online blogs and posts on our Facebook, which reach over thousands of adoptive families. Great Wall/CAN publishes monthly updates providing education and information on latest adoption policies and procedures, and country updates to keep adoptive families well informed. 7. ORPHAN CARE PROGRAMS AND MISSION TRIP. Great Wall/CAN definitely has the best interest of children in mind. It not only works extremely hard to find loving homes for the unparented children, it is also doing its best to help many children that are not fortunate enough to be adopted. With Great Wall/CAN Orphan Care Programs, many children are able to have colorful toys to stimulate their sensory growth; books to broad their knowledge. Children received donated clothes for the holidays; much needed equipment such as formula, refrigerator, digital cameras, washers, dryers, computers, printers, and rice were also donated to improve the life of children still in orphanages. Our orphan care projects include sending Valentine gifts to each child living in our partner orphanages in Haiti; providing funding to an orphanage in Burundi for orphanage housing, food and supplies. There are many US volunteers caring for the Haitian children. Throughout the year, we have taken a few groups of volunteers to Haiti on a mission trip named Haiti Orphan Care Trip. The volunteers travel to Haiti orphanages to teach kids English, doing arts and crafts, painting kids' rooms, remodeling the living areas and bringing food/supplies to the kids. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it is unsafe to travel to the country, this program has been suspended for now. 8. ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE NOT MEASURABLE. Great Wall/CAN's adoption programs, orphan care program and mission trips have contributed greatly to better the life of children and improvement of orphanage conditions. We certainly have witnessed many orphanages that we have worked with in the last decade transformed from poor conditions to a full service children's home with adequate facility and well trained care takers. We believe that every child deserves love and a home they can call their own. The children adopted through Great Wall/CAN are showed with endless love by their adoptive families. Physically and developmentally, they blossom like flowers after being adopted. Many of our adoptive parents sought our help after years of painful infertility treatment. The joy and excitement of becoming parent(s) are just beyond description. For these infertile parent(s), it's a lifetime dream coming true. For Great Wall/CAN staff, creating families for the children and adoptive parent(s) is our greatest achievement. The impact made by Great Wall/CAN's adoption programs, education sessions, training classes, hosting program, and homeland tour is far from being measurable. They greatly increase the awareness that there are still thousands of orphaned children waiting in the orphanages for a loving home. Great Wall/CAN exchange student program connects the cultures between our host families, adoptive families and the exchange students, and plays an important role to improve relations between the US and other nations. The program has contributed to enhance cultural understanding and mutual respect between our country and the rest of the world. Our international students have brought their culture and goodwill to our host families while our host families are able to experience other cultures right at their home. Great Wall/CAN's noble charitable work have attracted many people who believe in our organization's mission and want to be in the profession of doing good things and make an impact to the society. 0 0 0 1029008 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X Great Wall China Adoption 5123239595 248 Addie Roy Road Suite A102 Austin TX 78746 Snow X Wu President/CEO 60 0 X X 198000 0 0 Joseph William Chairman 3 0 X 0 0 0 Mark K Koshnick Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 David W Springer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alan Mackay Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 198000 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26803 0 26803 Professional Service Fees 624100 1237359 1237359 0 0 0 0 0 0 1237359 551532 551532 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1815694 1788891 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 198000 198000 0 0 0 0 156288 156288 0 5940 5940 0 22100 22100 0 23060 23060 0 1325 1325 0 6768 6768 0 2092 2092 0 39975 35852 4123 10955 10919 36 34831 31882 2949 1009 1009 0 20964 16588 4376 33008 33008 0 11326 7033 4293 Adoption Service & Exchange Student Program 335544 335544 0 Client Training and Workshop 11900 11900 0 Client Various Government Fees 22120 22120 0 Membership/Licensing/Accredidation 32950 32905 45 74675 74675 0 1044830 1029008 15822 0 24423677 9791879 1812459 377441 1465828 1435018 4652951 19991375 30542456 31218272 192714 161887 185332 121111 378046 282998 X 30164410 30935274 0 0 30164410 30935274 30542456 31218272 770864 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 1 X 1 0 X 2401587 1028697 1060718 1370108 1264161 7125271 0 2401587 1028697 1060718 1370108 1264161 7125271 7125271 1419209 1454604 942898 278052 551532 4646295 11771566 0.60530 0.6392 X 0 0 0 1536800 0 107576 1429224 0 0 0 0 193753 0 192154 1599 81906 0 77711 4195 1435018 0 Refundable Advances 121111 121111 East Asia and the Pacific 1 4 Program Services Adoption & Student Program 61905 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 2 Program Services Adoption 188148 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 0 8 Program Services Adoption & Student Program 20000 Central America and the Caribbean 0 4 Program Services Adoption & Student Program 95241 1 18 365294 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Snow X Wu President/CEO 198000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 198000 0 0 0 Form 990, Header, Line J More Websites: ChildrenofAllNations.COM; StudentAmbassadorExchange.ORG Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b After an accounting person or CPA completes Form 990, it will be reviewed by the organization's President/CEO and by the board of directors.
