Williams explained the primary
puropose of the American 4-H
exchange visit is to consider
adapting and designing a 4-H type
program tor the youth of China,
with the goal of improving that
country’s agricultural develop
ment through its youngsters.
Among other objectives are to
help develop recommendations tor
the organization and
management of a youth program
to fit Chinese needs; to design long
tange plans for future exchanges
involving planners and youth; and
to develop a proposal tor resources
needed to make long-range plans
work.

many 4-H international ex
periences that already- have
resulted in country-to-country
understanding and development,”
said Williams.
Today, more than 5 million
youths are involved in 4-H ac
tivities in nearly 90 nations. This
ligure could multiply many tunes,
said Williams, if this 4-H visit to
China is a productive as expected.
