  China Ministry

ACCTS (also known as Love the World in China) attempts to be culturally sensitive in its activities and, thus, may vary in the programs that it does in each country. ACCTS is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

In China, ACCTS' programs focus on building friendships, trust, cooperation, and peaceful relationships. This is done in three ways through:
1) Educational and cultural visits and exchanges
2) Development projects in a peasant village
3) Medical assistance projects

These social services programs are outlined further below.

Educational/Cultural Visits
ACCTS has established a friendship and cultural exchange program for young scholars from US universities. In 1999 ACCTS was asked by its PRC hosts to bring young scholars to China on a friendship and cultural introduction basis. This is the fifth year of such friendship trips to China.

ACCTS also works informally with the Center for China-USA Cooperation of the University of Denver in a series of workshops in Denver and Beijing on the topic of the cultural and other imperatives on the formation of ethics in the PRC and in the USA. The most recent of these conferences was held at the University of Denver in February 2004. As a part of this program, ACCTS has also established an exchange program with the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR) in Beijing.

ACCTS previously has successfully assisted in the planning and execution of international ethics symposia in several countries. In November 1999 the first such academic symposium was held in partnership with the Norwegian government and more specifically, with the Royal Norwegian Air force Academy in Trondheim. In March 2002 ACCTS conducted the second international symposium with the Latvian government in Riga. Delegates from 12 countries participated. ACCTS has been invited to present another international ethics symposium in Vilnus Lithuania in 2006. In addition ACCTS has assisted or conducted ethics conferences and workshops for the governments of The Netherlands (RMA, Breda), Ukraine (Humanitarian Academy, Kiev) and Mongolia (Officers of the Ministry of Defense, Ulaanbaatar).

ACCTS has also conducted an aviation history and cultural exchange program with the Aviators Associations in China and various American retired aviators associations. Visits to China and USA have been conducted in 2003 and 2004. Another is planned in May 2005.

Development Projects
Over the last 5 years, in order to build peaceful relations in China, ACCTS has sponsored several community development projects in Beicun village in Shanxi Province. These projects have included providing elementary school books, computers, and the establishment of a Friendship Library. The local leaders from the school district and town now refer to Beicun village as good model to other villages and schools.

Medical Assistance
In Order to develop friendships with China, ACCTS has also provided educational assistance to PLA #451 Hospital in Xian and to Beicun village in Shanxi Province. Several of these projects have been in cooperation with the Beijing Aviators and other Aviators Associations in China. Hospitals in Nanjing and Chengdu have also requested these services in the future. This program has also been sponsored by MSO, an NGO in the Republic of Korea. Thus, the program mainly consists of American and Korean doctors providing technical medical assistance.
