We are grateful for and humbled by our founding community of South Sudanese who have overcome incredible obstacles both near and far and are now successful American citizens. The South Sudanese have provided SSCA Omaha and the current refugee populations we serve with strength, hope, and love. We are truly thankful to be just a small part in the successful lives they build here in such a welcoming, richly diverse city.
