Friends of China Foundation
Friends of China Foundation, Ltd., (FOC) was founded in 1987, primarily to facilitate the recruitment of English Teachers for Chinese Universities. FOC is registered in Hong Kong, and has a charitable status. Since 1987 FOC has developed and changed to meet China's own growth and development. In addition to recruiting teachers of English, it now:
- Facilitates the supply of teachers of other subjects, both short and long term
- Facilitates visits by foreign experts in various fields
- Introduces students of Mandarin and minority languages
- Provides short-term English teachers
- Provides training programs for Middle School and High School English teachers
- Facilitates short-term Mandarin language study programs
- Participates in rural community development projects and rural education projects
FOC stresses people rather than programs, money or equipment, though FOC does, where possible and appropriate, seek to contribute materially to China's advancement. Of vital importance in all activities undertaken by FOC is integrity and professionalism.
