Children’s Home
Website last updated: Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Welcome! It is our intention to encourage the children to retain the culture that they were born into. We believe keeping their cultural identity is an essential right. This includes keeping their birth names. Cultural aspects of their ethnicities which do not conflict with Biblical principles will continue to be a part of who they are. The goal of our home is to raise responsible, respectful individuals who form part of a strong ethnic community within the nation of Thailand who can share God's love practically and sensitively with others.
