ADOPTION SERVICES. Great Wall/CAN provides adoption assessment services and post adoption supervision services to adoptive families and adoptees. Our services to families and children include counseling, screening, background checks, adoptive family suitability assessment, and post adoption supervision and support. The process is comprised of application, adoption training by our licensed service providers, home study, post adoption supervision, and family support. 2. HOMELAND TOUR. Great Wall/CAN organizes homeland tours attended by the adoptive families and their adoptees annually. Homeland tour gives the adoptees an opportunity to visit their homeland, visit their former care takers, the orphanages, and towns where they were born. 3. ORPHAN CARE PROGRAM AND MISSION TRIP. Great Wall/CAN has the best interest of children in mind. Our orphan care projects include providing funding to orphanages in Africa for 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. Because it is unsafe to travel to the country, this program has been suspended for now. 4. ADOPTEE CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM. Great Wall/CAN partners with an international adoption organization 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 with unique and exclusive cultural learning experience. This program is being re-built for the next year re-launch. 5. EXCHANGE STUDENT 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 adoptive families who have adopted from the students' home countries. This program promotes 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. CROSS-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES. Great Wall/CAN exchange student program aims to create cross-cultural understanding, global awareness, language proficiency and impacts on US local communities. As our exchange students are spread all over the country. Our approach to cross-cultural activities is directly working with our host families each month to provide them with recommended activities and ideas so they can engage their exchange students in cross-cultural activities. Our host families provide a variety of cross-cultural activities for the exchange students. This includes typical Halloween trick or treating, going to Christmas bazaars, learning to make traditional American foods, celebrating New Year's Eve and 4th of July. The exchange students also participated in high school dances, graduation ceremony, graduation retreat including prom. Many of our students have heard a lot about US high school football games and the excitement the games offer even prior to coming to the US. They attend their high school games and their area college football games. Some students even had a chance to attend NFL games and had personal meetings with former NFL players and tried on their Super Bowl rings. Visiting New York City seems to be one of the top destinations for exchange students. Our students travelled to New York City and saw all the sites of the Big Apple including Time Squares, Statue of Liberty, and Rockefeller Center. 7. ACHIEVEMENTS THAT ARE NOT MEASURABLE. Great Wall/CAN's adoption programs, orphan care programs and mission trips have contributed greatly to better the life of children and improvement of orphanage conditions. We have witnessed many orphanages that we have worked with in the last decades transformed from poor conditions into a full-service children's home with adequate facilities and well-trained caretakers. We believe that every child deserves love and a home they can call their own. The children adopted through Great Wall/CAN are shown 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 a parent are just beyond description. For these infertile parent(s), it's a lifetime dream coming true. For Great Wall/CAN staff, creating families for children and adoptive parents is our greatest achievement. The impact made by Great Wall/CAN's adoption programs, hosting program, homeland tour, and orphan care program and mission trip 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 in improving relations between the US and other nations. The program has contributed to enhance cross 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 home. Great Wall/CAN's noble charitable work has 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 society. 0 0 0 1063300 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 15 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 234729 0 0 Joseph William Chairman 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mark K Koshnick Treasurer 2 0 X 0 0 0 David W Springer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alan Mackay Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 234729 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1223 0 1223 Professional Service Fees 624100 772901 772901 0 0 0 0 0 0 772901 91620 91620 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 865744 864521 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 234729 234729 0 0 0 0 139622 139622 0 9870 9870 0 28689 28689 0 27043 27043 0 0 0 0 36064 36064 0 720 720 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 27248 23813 3435 7503 7467 36 0 0 0 62094 57908 4186 11029 10396 633 0 0 0 3985 2029 1956 0 0 0 0 0 0 32833 32833 0 16165 6754 9411 Adoption, Heritage & Exchange Student Program 411766 411766 0 0 Client Training and Workshop 21184 21184 0 0 Client Various Government Fees 2097 2097 0 0 Membership/Licensing/Accreditation 9366 9316 50 0 1000 1000 0 1083007 1063300 19707 0 302323 480343 1820657 443224 1410266 1377433 29509586 29022226 31222175 30880002 141703 33825 81537 64505 223240 98330 X 30998935 30781672 0 0 30998935 30781672 31222175 30880002 -217263 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 1 X 1 0 X 1060718 1370108 1264161 907202 774124 5376313 1060718 1370108 1264161 907202 774124 5376313 5376313 942898 278052 551532 164995 91621 2029098 7405411 0.72600 0.62406 X 0 0 0 1536800 0 169048 1367752 0 0 0 0 201951 0 196465 5486 81906 0 77711 4195 1377433 0 Refundable Advances 64505 64505 East Asia and the Pacific 1 9 Program Services Heritage & Student Program 146270 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 2 Program Services Adoption 10269 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 0 14 Program Services Adoption & Student Program 14047 Central America and the Caribbean 0 4 Program Services Adoption & Student Program 50177 1 29 220763 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Snow X Wu President/CEO 234729 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 234729 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.
