"Committed to the reunification and living enhancement of the Lost Boys of Sudan
who have made Nashville their home."
"We were forced out
of
Ethiopia and had to cross the
River Gilo back to
Sudan. Enemy troops were close
behind, but the river had currents so strong that we could not
cross safely. When we heard gunshots we realized that the troops
were going to kill us all and that we had no choice but to jump
in the river. Only half of us survived the gunshots, crocodiles
and strong currents. Crossing the Gilo was the longest moment of
my life. When I got to the other side, I just ran."
- 8 year old Sudanese refugee - circa 2000
“We need work. It
is a tough time for some of us. We have lost our jobs and
can’t pay our rent or buy food.”
– Manyang Jok - March 9, 2010,
President of the Nashville Lost Boys of Sudan

Lost Boys Gallery Closing
Final Art Crawl
Saturday, Dec. 3rd, 6-9pm
Since 2007, the Lost Boys Center & Gallery at 535 4th
ave South has been a
source of pride and
inspiration for the
Lost Boys community
as well as the city
of Nashville. The
Center & Gallery has
helped spread the
astounding story of
hope and survival of
The Lost Boys of
Sudan through
countless events and
pieces of beautiful,
original artwork.
The Lost Boys Foundation is beginning a new chapter
in its history.
While the Foundation
will live on, the
Center & Gallery
will sadly be
closing at the end
of the year.
We appreciate your support over these last four years
and hope you will
join us for the
final Lost Boys
Gallery Art Crawl
Saturday, December 3rd
6-9pm.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the
accomplishments and
memories you have
helped us make at
NPT's "Next Door Neighbors - Sudanese" aired June
23, 2011 and featured some of our Lost Boys of
Sudan. You'll find this a very informative
documentary. Thanks to NPT for focusing on all of
Nashville's refugee communities.
Also available for pickup at the center, we are pleased to present a new coffee mug featuring the work of Bol Aweng. The proceeds from sales of the mugs go to the Foundation to continue supporting the Lost Boys Community. Swing by the center in December (closed the 24th and 25th) between 11am-3pm, at 535 4th Avenue South, to pick up one of these great new coffee mugs.
