I've faced my fair share of reporters over the last 20 years in my role as Executive Director of CA, and I've found that their approach, questions, and conduct are businesslike and similar. Perhaps because of this similarity, I was unprepared for the group of budding reporters who recently faced me in China!

As a child, I couldn't wait until Chinese New Year. In the days leading up to the celebrations two words filled my mind: red packets (laisee)! Like children waiting for Christmas morning in other countries, my life was consumed with the excitement of what I would receive, and what I would buy when I opened my laisee packets - each one stuffed with money!
Imagine my emotions this year, when I was told about the heart attitude of Mark, one of our very disabled children in Qinghai.

I love it when the little ones who are adopted from our Children's Homes continue to be reminded of their birthplace when they are taken to live in another country and a different culture.
Evan's family have done just that for him... just take a look at these happy photographs!

The longing for a child to succeed in life is the dream of most parents, whatever their nationality or culture. Xiao Qi's parents were no different. They were determined that their daughter would not work in the fields as they had done. But escape from the remote mountainous region of Qinghai to a better life demands perseverance.

Happy Year of the Monkey! Chinese New Year is a time for family reunions. This week, friends and family around the world take time to visit each other, and give lucky money (lai see) to kids. And of course whenever Chinese people gather, food abounds! During this exciting time of year, there is a different mood filling the streets and peoples' hearts. There are many reasons why I enjoy the season, but my favourite has to be the welcoming of good wishes and blessings. One of the most common being "恭喜發財/ Kung Hei Fat Choy!" which means, "Wishing you happiness and prosperity in the coming year!"
