Amitofo Care Center founder Hui-li and 28 children from the ACC’s branch in Eswatini visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on November 27. The group was received by MOFA Secretary General Daniel Diann-wen Tang. In their own unique style, the children sang folk songs in Swazi, Taiwanese, and Bunun and performed an indigenous dance. The performance demonstrated the results of their exposure to Taiwanese education and culture. MOFA staff in the audience gave the children a rapturous reception, adding to the warmth and joy of the occasion. 

In his remarks, Tang expressed his appreciation to the ACC for its years of hard work and contributions in Africa. He also thanked the visitors for coming so far to share their stories and the results of their schooling. In a supportive and affirmative way, MOFA has long assisted the ACC and its Pu-Hsien Educational Foundation in promoting a traditional Chinese language education program in Africa. The initiative has advanced Chinese language learning among African children, built bridges for cultural exchanges and friendship between Taiwan and Africa, and contributed significantly to bilateral interactions.

Hui-li thanked MOFA for its long-term support and said that the ACC would continue its work to spread Taiwanese culture and values in Africa. The ACC plans to open another two branches on the continent to help even more local children.
