One of the ministries of the “Avoda” Foundation is the School of Life Skills, which helps both children from tribal communities and children from refugee families living in Thailand who are not allowed to attend Thai schools.
A young woman writes:
“My name is Gigi Win, I’m 26 years old. I was born in Thailand into a Burmese family that fled the war. As a child, I had a dream — to learn to read and write in Thai. But Thai schools did not accept Burmese children. Because of this, I felt excluded… Why couldn’t I go to school?
Everything changed when I was 8 years old and I came to the Avoda Foundation, where both Thai and Burmese children were welcomed. Here, I not only learned the Thai language, but also came to know about God’s love — a love that doesn’t differentiate based on race, language, or religion.
At 14, I made the decision to follow Jesus. He was the only one who saw my worth — even on the days when no one else did.
Today, I serve at Avoda: I teach children and share God’s love just as I once received it. I thank God for revealing the truth to me — that I am deeply loved.
Now, my greatest desire is to reflect on His love and share it with other children.”
