Education - Pen-Pal Exchange
In an effort to bring awareness to both the similarities and the differences in cultures of students in the US and The Republic of South Sudan, Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan, (with the help of various organizations and individuals), has sponsored Pen Pal exchanges with students from various areas within the two countries. Through these exchanges, we hope to encourage dialogue, understanding and learning experiences for students in both countries.
One of the Pen-Pal programs was conducted prior to the Independence of South Sudan and one shortly thereafter. *This is an on-going program as security and communication issues allow, helping us to record the growth of The Republic of South Sudan education system and in helping to build lasting relationships and cultural understanding between students, who may one day, be leaders in their respective countries.
