It’s always a pleasure to come to work at Captivating International and you can always expect to be overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of our community. Yes, this was true one morning as I was busy typing away at the computer. I started to see the ladies in the office assemble like working ants walking back and forth with all kinds of items. My curiosity was peaked as I saw the beginning of a toilet paper pyramid grow and other toiletries, cooking oil, shoes and flip flops and a myriad of other house items assembled in order. Of course, I jumped in to help sort the items and I asked, “where is all this coming from and who is it for?” Francine, Vivian, and Tracy all said in unison, “QSI, they do this every year. The school will ask us every year what we need, we give them a list, and what we get back is always so much more”. The very much appreciated items will be used by the Seng Girls who visit and study with us at our Shekou location and all the girls at Project Eden. THANK YOU QSI!
Last October 21st marks another momentous event in the Captivating world! Through the 15th Annual Charity Auction in Shenzhen, 530 people came together to help improve the lives of young girls, moms, and their children.

On behalf of the Shenzhen Charity Federation, thank you so much for being a part of our 12th year, last Saturday, October 17th, 2020. And, once again, our thanks to the wonderful team at the Futian Shangri-la, Shenzhen.
Together, as a result of the generosity of everyone who attended, 1,000 lives (single moms, young women, and their children) will one day look back on 2020 as a turnaround year for them. A year of new beginnings and fortune.

Thank you to all those who participated in our very first global Marathon in a Month in October. A big shout out to the 160 students, parents, and faculty from QSI International School of Haiphong. Within two hours, they were able to complete 17 marathons - that's a total of 710 KM - combined! A massive thank you goes to Alyssa for leading this challenge and for encouraging the school community to run for those affected by trafficking.
