The Agape Home
the Agape Home for babies with HIV/AIDS opened in May 1996 as a response to the plight of children impacted by the spread of HIV/AIDS across Thailand. All of the children who come to the Agape Home to live are, or are at risk of being, HIV positive. Many of them have already lost their parents to AIDS, and there are no other options for their care. Agape Home is a bright and cheerful place, and amazingly clean and tidy despite the best efforts of the children to ensure otherwise! Situated in a rural setting, the sounds of children laughing and playing can readily be heard upon entering the front door. Keeping things running smoothly each day requires a coordinated effort between the full-time Thai staff and a team of volunteers who come from all over the world to help care for the children for periods of six months to one-year. Hands-on care is a way of life at Agape, and there are always at least eleven Thai nannies and four foreign volunteers working each of the two daily shiftsContact details:
