Care for Children
Care for Children works in partnership with local and national governments in China to establish foster care programs for orphaned and abandoned Chinese children. Established in 1998, the nonprofit has trained over 184 orphanages throughout China and transformed thousands of children's lives as they move into their own families for the first time.

Actress Zhang Ziyi (pictured) is supporting Shangri-La's ongoing partnership with Care for Children. She recently visited Kunming Orphanage, where many of the children she met will soon be placed into their own families through the Kunming foster care project. Care for Children has a "vision for a million" abandoned and orphaned Chinese children to be in long-term foster care by 2010. It is a registered charity in the U.S., U.K. and China. For more information on the organization, visit www.careforchildren.com.cn.

Where Will You Find Your Shangri-La
The concept of Shangri-La first leapt out of author James Hilton's imagination onto the pages of Lost Horizon, his 1930's novel about a land of peace hidden high in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet.

Today, Shangri-La stands as a synonym for paradise. And even though mythical in origin, the name perfectly encapsulates the genuine serenity and service for which Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has come to be recognized.

From the day Shangri-La opened its first property in 1971 in Singapore, its goal has been a simple one: to instill in its guests that same sense of extraordinary contentment. The meticulous attention to detail and unstintingly high levels of service have made "Shangri-La Hospitality" a by-word for excellence around the world.

Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is considered one of the world's finest luxury hotel groups. The company manages 51 hotels under the five-star Shangri-La and four-star Traders brands. Shangri-La has more than 40 projects currently under development in Canada, mainland China, France, India, Japan, Macau, Maldives, Philippines, Qatar, Seychelles, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States.
