Determination and Practice = Success!

On the way back home all we talked about was what happened in the rolling place and we compared pain, bumps and bruises. When we see the rainbow, we forget what we have experienced before. The same is true of life; we fall and then get up. No matter what we do, we cannot be afraid of failure. Only through personal practice and hard work can we taste the joy of success! Roller skating left us so happy. Laughter is like a language and without any translation can move each other's heart.

Gratitude from the heart of the mountains

Nayu Village is 115km away from the nearest city. Nayu is beautiful but very remote. Most of the villagers who live in Nayu make their living from the land. The family of Liu Xuelan is no exception.

8 more greenhouses! Thank you QSI Shenzhen

At Captivating, we love it when whole communities get excited about helping other communities. The teachers, students and families of QSI Shenzhen have done just that. With creative fundraising ideas and a lot of community spirit, QSI students and staff were able to raise RMB12,000 (US$1,700). These funds will enable us to bring hope to impoverished families in Western China through Greenhouses.
