The Lost Boys - Walter Lam
2014-08-07 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Walter Lam, himself a refugee from Uganda, fled political persecution and came to San Diego in 1986. Upon arrival to the United States, Walter recognized that there were not programs addressing the needs of African Refugees arriving in San Diego. In 1989, he founded the Alliance for African Assistance with the purpose of helping fellow refugees from Africa. Over the past 25 years the Alliance has greatly expanded to serving thousands of refugees from all over the world.
Walter’s program will be on “The Lost Boys”. This is a compelling tale about the resettlement of the lost boys of Sudan, a mixed group of adults and minors. The amazing part of this story is the transformation of these kids, who grow up to become leaders in the U. S. and in their native country of Sudan. Among all the refugees that came to America during the last 25 years, this group comprises the largest number of refugees who went back to help their home country.
Walter has served on the California Refugee Health Advisory Board and the California State Advisory Committee for Refugees, the California Refugee Forum. He was also a member of Mayor Dick Murphy’s African American Advisory board. He was a member of the city of San Diego International Affairs board, he is a recipient of the United Way of San Diego Ben Polak Award of Excellence and has been highlighted as a prominent refugee by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCD). Walter is Currently on the Board of Directors for the Neighborhood House Association, as well as a an active member of San Diego Rotary by being involved with the Peace, Rotary Cares and Microcredit committees.

“During my many years as a world class runner as well as during my ten year tenure as a US Congressman, I found many opportunities to dig down deep for the courage to accomplish what needed to be done. I enjoy sharing my life experiences from as long ago as a 10 year old child looking for a role model and finding him in the TV series of “Superman” to running against Olympians on the world stage of track and field competition. <!–more–>June 5th is an historic day in my life as well as in the life of track and field and running in general. I am very grateful for the many people who have organized the 50th Anniversary celebrating my being the first high school boy to run the mile in under 4 minutes. It is honor to be sharing this day with all of you.”
