CHINA 2015 THE YEAR THAT WAS

“I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU” Since the beginning of 2015, House of Joy has been receiving sponsorship from Captivating. Located in Guizhou, House of Joy provides love and support to more than 100 handicapped young people from a local Welfare Centre each month. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, a group of their friends, between 8 and 50+ years old visit House of Joy, where each one is blessed with baths, skin and hair care and clean clothes. Then activities, games, toys and outings fill up the rest of the day. We believe that every person has potential and that the development of that potential gives joy and fulfillment. All of HOJ friends struggle with one or more handicaps; some are profoundly handicapped. Often, the greatest joy for someone, is to sit and have someone look into their eyes, saying, “I love you and want to spend time with you.” HOJ do wonderful work, and we are very touched to be doing our part to support them, and will continue to do so during 2016. 26
