Testimonials
- ~ LBRSS Volunteer
"It has been inspiring working alongside this dedicated group of young men. They came here to America with nothing more than determination, faith and optimism and they have taught us all the true value of education. Our education is not only to better the quality of our own lives but to equip each of us to make our communities, our nation and our world a better place for everyone. The Lost Boys are servant leaders, they work tirelessly to access help for South Sudan while sharing their stories of survival that encourage all of us to never give up no matter how hopeless a circumstance may appear at the time. The truth of their message strengthens and encourages us to do the right thing even in the face of adversity. - Wendi Dwyer, active volunteer with LBRSS since 2006"
