Join the Unstoppable Frankie Picasso on Mission Unstoppable Radio this Tuesday March 24th at 8;00 pm when my guest is Jacob Atem, one of the former Lost Boys for the Sudan.
In 1987, a civil war drove an estimated twenty thousand young boys from their families and villages in Southern Sudan. Most no more than six or sevens years old, they fled to Ethiopia to escape death or induction into slavery and the Northern army. They walked a thousand miles through lion and crocodile country, eating mud to stave off thirst and starvation. Wandering for years, half of them died before reaching the Kenyan refugee camp, Kakuma. The survivors of this tragic exodus became known to the world as the “Lost Boys of Sudan (Lost Boys of Sudan).”
Jacob is finishing up his Masters at Michigan State University and looking forward to bringing his good fortune back to the Sudan in the form of a Health Care Centre called The Southern Sudan Health Care Center.. Meet this courageous and determined young man LIVE …
