After living for years in a country riddled with religious persecution, civil war and militant rule, the Khai family feels blessed to be in America. Peter Khai and his wife San Cing fled Myanmar (formerly Burma) in 2011 due to religious persecution of their Christian faith. They now live in Gainesville with their daughter Merry, age 5, and son Victor, 3.
