Welcome to Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts' first-ever online global eBay charity 
auction. The auction starts at 7 PM (EST) on June 6 and closes 7 PM (EST) June 16,

Asia Pacific's leading luxury hotel group has created 14 exclusive luxury travel

Shangri-La is donating the money raised through eBay Giving Works. By placing the

help abandoned and orphaned Chinese children find loving homes in China. 

Care for Children, a registered charity in the U.S., U.K. and China, is based in 
Beijing and works in partnership with local and national governments in China to 
establish foster care programs. Care for Children has a "vision for a million"

nonprofit has helped place more than 31,000 children in foster homes in China.
