Impact Through Speaking Engagements
ImpactAVillage offers live and virtual presentations at schools, corporations, clubs, and places of worship. Our inspirational speaker Deng Jongkuch shares his harrowing story of survival as one of the Lost Boys of Sudan and his experience as a refugee in the U.S. His story offers hope, creates awareness about different cultures, and inspires activism, volunteerism and giving back to those in need.
