We have been involved behind the scenes with Captivating from day one – but had never taken the step of sponsoring a child. Trinity (pictured) started school this year. They learn Mandarin from kindergarten. As a family we thought there was no better way for her to connect to the language, culture and people than to sponsor a Captivating Child – but what we ended up getting actually feels more like another child in our family.
Trinity summed it up best in her latest letter to Fang “I am very happy to have you as my Chinese sister – I show everyone your picture. I hope that you will write to me and maybe one day we can play together. Big kiss and cuddle – Trinity”.
The joy and excitement of exchanging letters and photos has been a wonderful experience for our 5 year old – Fang has been the subject of several “news days” with other girls at school asking when Fang is coming to visit!

My world is not limited to a small mountain village. I want to reach a distance I have never reached. I want to go to the top of the mountain to overlook the world and blow the night wind on the top of the mountain.

Learning is a long journey. On this path, there will be difficulties, obstacles, problems, but there are also many people who are encouraging me, helping me.

Yangkartso, 17, lives with his brother and mother. Her father died due to an accident at work when she was still a child. Her mother then sought jobs so she could continue supporting them and send them to school. However, when her brother fell ill, their family's financial difficulty increased and she had to drop out of school.
