When the civil war broke out in Sudan in 1983, the event that followed the war were horrific and difficult when one was to look back. One of the stories is the story of many South Sudanese who left their homelands to Ethiopian between 1987 and 1990. In all the challenges, many of the children made it out of the suffering but many never. In early 2000 or late 90s, a project was started to resettlement many of the unaccompanied minors who were living in Kakuma refugee camp. The resettlement process helps many of these young people to have another chance in life in the United States. It was a long process and involves more convincing from the community workers or foster parents who were part of these children. Among those who helped these youth was Aduk Dau Duot who later migrated to Australia. Recently Adut went to the Uninted States where she was able to meet many of these young men who are now grown up. Here is the interview of Aduk and two lostboys Dhieu Deng Leek and Aleu Deng.
