Reunited!
Families are being reunited! The Lost Boys on our board have each raised their own funds to return to South Sudan and be reunited with their families. Over 20 years ago as little boys they saw their villages burnt to the ground and their relatives being killed all around them. This propelled them on a journey for survival. Hope of one day being reunited with their families helped to keep them alive as they walked thousands of miles with little food or water. (click on History to learn more)
Upon their return the Lost Boys on our board have installed wells in their villages, brought farming tools to over 100 families, and helped widows to set up goat and chicken farming programs. Now they are building a secondary school and leadership academy in Malualkon in South Sudan.
The Lost Boys and their families consider it a miracle to be reunited.
Emmanuel Ngong meets his niece and nephew for the first time.
Malith Arik Ajak hugs his mother for the first time in twenty years.
William Mou happily reunited with his family.
Testimonials
- ~ Maine East High School
"When we brought a couple of speakers from the Lost Boys Rebuilding Southern Sudan to our school several years ago, all teachers involved agreed it was beyond an educational experience. The gentlemen tell their stories with such passion and importance, making it evident to every listener that not only do they remember their past and live each day with it, but they will spend the rest of their lives making the situation in Sudan more promising. Ultimately, they have taught our kids many lessons from the history of the war in Sudan and the current climate there, to life lessons about dedication, diligence, and determination. Now, year after year, we bring back these courageous young men to tell their stories and pass on authentic experiences to our youth. There is no better way to teach empathy than presenting students with the firsthand account of these gifted and generous young men. -Eric Coval, English"
