Speaking Engagements

One of the goals of our organization is to build awareness of the mission of the Lost Boys, not only to raise funds to build secondary schools in Southern Sudan, but also to educate people about the impact of war and the possibilities of hope.

For examples, see our post “Lost Boys Reach out to the Community”

OBJECTIVES

  • Outline Sudan’s history of religious and political conflict and genocide
  • Share personal stories of survival as children of civil war genocide in Sudan and important life lessons Lost Boys adopted in order to sustain themselves in their darkest hours, as well in building a new life
  • Inspire others to examine their lives and how they can better themselves or their situations by applying some of the Lost Boy’s lessons
  • Encourage and inform others on how they can contribute to rebuilding Sudan

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"
