SIMPLY CAPTIVATING – our end of year Newsletter

It’s been a wonderful 6 months for Captivating. Thank you to our Captivating Board, supporters, donors, volunteers, ground staff and project partners. We are thrilled to report that, together, we have achieved our 2015 goal of creating a dramatically brighter future for 5,000 impoverished or desperate children.

Thanks for travelling this road with us. As one year draws to a close we look forward to doing it all again (plus more) in 2016. Please click on the attached link, sit back and enjoy some of our Captivating highlights made possible thanks to our wonderful supporters and followers.

With our thanks and best wishes,
