A Freezer for the Agape Orphanage!
Christine McCullough made a very generous donation which was used to purchase $400 a freezer (and fresh meat since they got a discount) for the Agape Orphanage which is essential for food preservation especially in this extremely hot and humid climate.
“Where I grew up my family trying to save money, had a garden in the
backyard and was also buying food in bulk or in sale. So, we had a freezer
to store the food for months allowing you to bring out portions of food when
we need it. This is why I picked to help them buy a freezer because I know
that the orphanage will benefit immensely for a number of reasons, ranging
from buying in bulk, saving the left-over food and freezing their garden
grown vegetables. ” – Christine McCullough
Agape Orphanage Background:
We are proud to lend our support to help sponsor programs at the Agape Orphanage in Mae Sot, Thailand. Mae Sot is a border town where more than 1 million Karen/Burmese refugees have come from their homeland to escape the civil war, mine fields, starvation, diseases and misery have destroyed many family structures and too many migrant children are orphans or abandoned living in slums or in the street.
The word Agape is derived from a Greek word that translated into English means love and that’s what we found at the Agape
Agape Staff
Orphanage and Learning Center. AGAPE is a place of love. You gain an incredible feeling as you walk through the gates. As one of the young boys or girls comes to unlock the gate for you the smile on their face welcomes you from the very beginning. It doesn’t take long to work out how this family looks after its own, and how everyone has their own special place in it. It is precious to see!
Agape is home to around 120 children and a school for 300-400 children in total. But it is more than that, it’s a large-scale family and includes all its teachers and staff as its parents, under one head. It runs 24/7, with all the family working together to achieve its goals: Peace, Love and Brotherhood.
Accountability
Everyday is a new day of struggle for doing this in the best conditions. They have a lot of projects that require funding in order to develop the Center and to bring more comfort to the kids.
