DESCRIPTION:April 24, 10am - 11am and 11:15am-12:15pm\n\nIn honor of Passover, Temple 
 Sholom presents "A Journey to Freedom" where Deng Jongkuch, one of the Lost 
 Boys of Sudan, speaks about his courageous story of survival. In 1987, at 
 the age of 5, Deng escaped from his village in Southern Sudan while it was 
 under attack by government soldiers. Without his parents, Deng joined 
 30,000 other Lost Boys of Sudan and survived a year-long, grueling 1000 
 mile walk to Kenya and 14 years in refugee camps. In 2001, Deng was 
 selected with 3,800 other Lost Boys to come to the U.S. He worked full 
 time, went to school, and graduated from San Jose State University in 2008. 
 Deng returned to his village in 2005 and was joyfully reunited with his 
 parents but was dismayed to see his village in poor condition, without a 
 school or clean water. Deng is passionately committed to helping rebuild 
 his village and others in Sudan and gives frequent talks at schools and 
 places of worship. Deng helped found ImpactAVillage, a California-based 
 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to improve education in 
 Southern Sudan. In the summer of 2009, ImpactAVillage provided funds to 
 direct the building of a schoolhouse in the village of Malek, Southern 
 Sudan. The primary school is now complete and seats 300 children. Donations 
 are currently being collected for funding teachers at the new school. This 
 event is free of charge and open to the public. School age children and 
 adults are welcome.\n
