Their Stories
We measure our success in actual lives changed. These stories are a testament to the difference that we can make when we come together for them.
This past week we have had 2 of our children leave our Agape family. It’s always a difficult time for ALL of us, but we do believe that our children will have a great future with their new family. Kamonphu was so happy to spend time with his adopted brother, it seemed like they always knew each other. It was a joy to see them playing and eating together. Blessings and love from your Agape family.

The Question
An interview with Alex Gibson. Alex is 18, from Melbourne, and part of the Australian Team currently at Agape. Seeing Alex interact with the children, it was clear to see that this young man was deeply touched by the love at Agape. So I thought I’d share the story. See if it strikes a cord with you. Alex first visited Agape Home with his family in 2009. Back then he thought it was a wonderful place. But he didn’t really realize the full meaning of what was done here. He was a typical 13 yr old who said he joined in the games and played soccer with the kids because it was the thing to do. Today he is back at Agape with other Australian youth. But this time he has a real purpose.
All of us at Agape Home were so excited to have one of our adopted children return to Agape and volunteer. Sai was adopted from Agape Home a few years ago and now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This was Sai’s first visit back to Thailand and many emotions were unveiled. During her visit, Sai lived in one of our Jarrawee homes with girls she didn’t know, couldn’t communicate with, and had a very different diet than what she was used to. However, Sai did an amazing job loving and caring for babies which were the same age Sai was when she left. As providence would have it, at the exact same time as Sai’s visit, a very special return visit happened from a volunteer & her children from Switzerland. Wouldn’t you know it that Daniella remembered Sai from all those years ago! There were also a few long-term nannies that remembered Sai as a baby. Amazing! Sai left having made many friends, brothers, and sisters with her Agape Family. She said, “It’s funny – it just feels like home. I can’t explain it, but it’s just like coming home.” We wish Sai all the very best as she returns home and finishes her final year at school. May God bless Sai richly. Please consider sharing this story and encouraging others to support our work at Agape Home, a home where LOVE is changing the lives of children living with HIV/AIDS in Chiang Mai, Thailand. THANK YOU!
