"We were lost from our parents, but were never lost from God or each other."
Meet Deng Jongkuch, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. In 1987, at the age of 5, Deng escaped from his village in Southern Sudan while it was under attack. He hiked many miles from Sudan to Ethiopia and then to Kenya to seek safety. In 2001, after nearly fourteen years in refugee camps, Deng was selected with 3,800 other boys to come to the United States. He recently graduated from California State University-San Jose. Deng returned to his village in the summer of 2005 and was joyfully reunited with his family but was dismayed to see his village in poor condition with no roads, clean water, medical supplies or a school. Deng returns to his village every summer and is passionately committed to helping rebuild it and other villages in Sudan. Your donations to ImpactAVillage make this possible.
