ASIA Families

ASIA Families is honored to partner with Chris Poirier, a Korea Bridge Tour participant and Camp Rice volunteer, to establish an annual college scholarship for adoptees in memory of Chris’s brother, Walter Jonathan Poirier.

In recent years, Chris has become active as a volunteer and voice in the Korean adoption community. In doing so, he has discovered a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of children and adults adopted from Korea as well as their families. He views the establishment of this scholarship as the next step in supporting adoptees and bringing a sense of peace to his family.
