revision of the book "a long march to water"

Linda Sue Park helped Salva Dut share his experience as a "Lost Boy" of Sudan who returned home to form a well for his village.

Salva was eleven years old when he started the journey on foot with thousands of other children who were forced to leave their village after the soldiers killed their parents. Violent reality included shooting, lions, crocodiles, drowning and kidnapping as child soldiers.

The children traveled through South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. They lived in refugee camps for several years. Salva took interest in learning English so an aid worker taught him. Eventually as a young man, Salva was one among the group permitted to return to us.

After a couple of years within the us, Salva received word that his father was still alive but very ill due to not having clean water. Salva began his dream of being reunited in conjunction with his father and finding the thanks to unravel the water problem. With help from many people organizing and raising funds, his dream came true.

Salva returned home and was reunited in conjunction with his father. He was told his mother was still alive but it had been too dangerous to travel to where she was. He only needs to see his father because he was during a hospital.

Salva put together a team and drilled a well within the village. His term was that no-one might be refused water. The village people had to return together for the advantage of all. Later, he began drilling wells in other villages.

The ending brought the fictional area of the story in conjunction together with his true story. The fictional story was a few of young Nuer girl named Nya about twenty years later who benefitted from the new well. She noticed that the one that gave them the clean water didn't have tribal markings on his forehead. She assumed he was from her tribe. She asked someone and was told he was Dinka, not Nuer. She wondered why he would help them. She got up the courage to approach him and said, "Thank you for bringing us the water."

Girls were now ready to attend school because they did not have to steer for water.

This story is precious to me because of the Sudanese young adults in my life. One is my friend and his family. the opposite is my daughter in law. My friend is Dinka and my daughter-in-law is Nuer. I like them both.

My friend's dream is to form a faculty building for the youngsters in his village. I'd wish to help him. we'll need much help. I'm sure all of the "Lost Boys" have dreams. Although telling their stories is painful, one by one, we'll help them build a brighter future for subsequent generations.
