The Lost Boys of Sudan were boys, many under the age of 9 who were orphaned and stranded during the Second Sudanese Civil War. The boys were taken and endured heavy abuse and strife facing the challenges of surviving the conditions they were placed in. Many of them died on their way through and a small percentage was able to escape to the U.S.
Now as the War ended on 2005, though some tribal fights and angst still emerges. The Lost Boys find their way back to their families or contribute back to their home of Sudan. Using useful skills they learned in their travels and lives outside of Sudan. Though emotional scars and trauma still resides from what they experience just as children.
The pain these kids had to go through can outdo the trivial pain anyone can feel. They were beaten, abused, emotionally destroyed, put through grusome and inhumane treatment instead of the love, nurturing, and compassion that they should've received. Thoguh noone can change the past it is strongly believed their future needs to be adjusted for the better.
