Lost Boys of Sudan to Speak on Wednesday A group of refugees from Sudan known as the Lost Boys will share their story at Meredith College this Wednesday, March 25 at 10 a.m. in Jones Chapel. The Lost Boys of Sudan include more than 20,000 people who were displaced as children during a civil war that lasted in their country from 1983-2005. More than 4,000 came to the United States in 2001 with assistance from the International Rescue Committee and a variety of churches and non-profits. Click here for additional information. The presentation at Meredith College will include a video, a panel discussion featuring a group of Lost Boys and a question and answer session. They will also discuss their current efforts to raise money to build secondary schools in the Sudan. Visit www.rebuildingsouthernsudan.org for more information.
