Lori Borger met Amanda Jones in South Bend when Amanda was selling her violin to pay for a computer for LOT2545. A later encounter at the South Bend Farmer’s Market jewelry table captured Lori’s heart and led to Lori’s family sponsoring a boy.

Her husband and oldest children visited the boys in Uganda 3 years later. The boys hold a special place in all of their hearts. Formerly a physical therapist, Lori is now homeschooling the younger four of her five children and volunteers extensively at her church. She is honored to be joining the LOT2545 board.

Chrissy Paul grew up with Amanda Jones in South Bend, Indiana and has kept in touch through all of Amanda’s adventures in Uganda. Because she has boys of her own, she has a heart for the kids on the street LOT2545 is helping in Kampala.

She lives in Medford, Oregon with her two boys Adam and Connor. She works as a medical biller.

Amanda Jones is the founder of LOT 2545. After spending 10 months in Uganda, she realized God’s calling in her life to help older boys living on the streets. As a result, Amanda returned to the US to begin the paperwork needed to establish LOT 2545.

Before her time in Uganda, she taught high school Spanish for 2 years. She was raised in South Bend, Indiana and attended Indiana University South Bend for both undergraduate and graduate work. She graduated in May 2010 with a M.S. in Secondary Education.
