Deng Jongkuch is an inspiring speaker with an amazing story of courage.

Help us bring Deng's important message to your community. We can arrange for Deng to speak at your school, community center, or place of worship in the Sacramento or San Francisco bay area. A small donation to ImpactAVillage is requested to help improve villages of Southern Sudan. Please download our list of fund raising ideas. To host a speaking event with Deng, please contact Lisa Wade, President of Impact a Village lisafwade@gmail.com. Get involved!

"Deng's presentation was extraordinary, and I have never seen so many people in our school cafeteria ever. Deng was a captivating and motivating speaker, and his story kept scores of teenagers riveted and inspired. Deng's presentation raised the awareness of a community. It was abundantly clear to me and the parents who spoke with me afterwards that we need to find more opportunities to sponsor speakers from around our globe who have compelling stories and life experiences "a world apart" from ours. As I watched dozens of students crowd to shake Deng's hand or give him a hug, I knew that for a moment at least, they were thinking globally and about the plight of others." Mr. Mike McGuire, Principal Granite Bay High School
