Our Initiatives

Bahamas China Friendship Association
Given the organization’s founding objectives to promote cultural, education, and
commercial opportunities between The Bahamas and Chine,
the BCFA has established five core initiatives that it will undertake to further its core objectives.

The organization will further this initiative by hosting an annual Chinese Calligraphy Sip & Paint event. This initiative is intended to exposed the Bahamian public to the basics of the Chinese language, cultural norms, and etiquette in a relaxed atmosphere.

Participants are be exposed to the basics of Chinese language, including standard salutations, translation of common Bahamian phrases, and writing common Bahamian names using Chinese Characters. The goal is to create interest among Bahamians to want to explore and learn more about Chinese language and culture. The BCFA also supports the Confucius Institute, and its goal to promote Chinese language and culture in high schools and at the university level in The Bahamas.
