SCHOLARSHIPS CHANGE THE LIVES OF THE LOST BOYS

The Lost Boys of Sudan have a saying:   "Education is our mother and father."  Unlike most Americans, they have no parents to help them with their education. They say there are only two things they need—their education and their teeth.  Both, they feel, are vital to their future success in our country.  They believe that education will speak for them, since their parents cannot.

Most of the Lost Boys are living at or below the poverty line, and most are working long hours and going to school fulltime.     Most are working at menial jobs for low pay, and they know that in order to avoid a permanent cycle of poverty, they must get college degrees or graduate from a technical school.   If financial problems crop up, as they do, they have to leave school since they cannot afford the tuition and books, pushing back the timeline for becoming self-sufficient.  

Knowing these young men as we do, we firmly believe that with our help, they will become outstanding citizens of this country.   One day, we will be so proud that we were a part of extending our hand to them. 

We have awareded a total of $68,000 in scholarships.  More help is needed.   You can change their lives by donating.
