The Lost Boys of Sudan: An American Story of the Refugee ExperienceIn 2000 the United States began accepting 3,800 refugees from one of Africa's longest civil wars. They were just some of the thousands of young men, known as "Lost Boys," who had been orphaned or otherwise separated from their families in the chaos of a brutal conflict that has ravaged Sudan since 1983. The Lost Boys of Sudan focuses on four of these refugees. Theirs, however, is a typical story, one that repeated itself wherever the Lost Boys could

In 2000 the United States began accepting 3,800 refugees from one of Africa's longest civil wars. They were just some of the thousands of young men, known as "Lost Boys," who had been orphaned or otherwise separated from their families in the chaos of a brutal conflict that has ravaged Sudan since 1983. The Lost Boys of Sudan focuses on four of these refugees. Theirs, however, is a typical story, one that repeated itself wherever the Lost Boys could be found across America.

Jacob Magot, Peter Anyang, Daniel Khoch, and Marko Ayii were among 150 or so Lost Boys who were resettled in Atlanta. Like most of their fellow refugees, they had never before turned on a light switch, used a kitchen appliance, or ridden in a car or subway train--much less held a job or balanced a checkbook. We relive their early excitement and disorientation, their growing despondency over fruitless job searches, adjustments they faced upon finally entering the workforce, their experiences of post-9/11 xenophobia, and their undying dreams of acquiring an education.

As we immerse ourselves in the Lost Boys' daily lives, we also get to know the social services professionals and volunteers, celebrities, community leaders, and others who guided them--with occasional detours--toward self-sufficiency. Along the way author Mark Bixler looks closely at the ins and outs of U.S. refugee policy, the politics of international aid, the history of Sudan, and the radical Islamist underpinnings of its government. America is home to more foreign-born residents than ever before; the Lost Boys have repaid that gift in full through their example of unflagging resolve, hope, and faith.

2023 Honda CRV Hybrid - cabin filter was a bit long
Size: CRV 2023-26 2.0L Hybird
I have a 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid and the Cabin filter was a bit long. I had to trim the edges a bit to allow the cover to fit back on. The engine filter fit perfect.

Perfect

After having my car for almost a year and searching forever to find an air filter this one fits I've had trouble at AutoZone and O'Reilly's with them saying different conflicting things as well as the dealership but rest assured if you have the 2025 hybrid this will 100% fit it's a great value for the money the quality is the same as you would get at the dealership

Highly Recommended – Saved Big and Easy Install at 83 Years Old!
Size: CF10134&CA11476
I’ve been taking my cars to my favorite garage for over 25 years, so I trust them completely. When they quoted me $150 just to install and purchase the cabin and engine air filters on my 2016 Honda Accord, I decided to try doing it myself. I bought this Cabin & Engine Air Filter set (fits Honda Accord 2.4L 2013-2017 and Acura TLX) for only about $27 delivered. What a difference in price! Installation was surprisingly straightforward. Everything fit perfectly with no issues. The only extra step was doing a simple factory reset on the control panel, which was very easy and took just a couple of minutes. At 83 years old, I’m proud to say I handled the whole job myself in my driveway. The filters seem high quality, especially with the activated carbon cabin filter. My car runs cleaner now and the air inside smells fresher. Excellent value and perfect fit. If you’re even a little handy, don’t pay the high dealer/garage prices — get this kit and do it yourself. Highly recommended! Would buy again without hesitation.
