Father of the Lost Boys for Younger Readers

By Yuot A. Alaak

Once, there was a man who rescued 20,000 boys from almost certain death. That man was my father. One of those boys was me. This is our story.

During the Second Sudanese Civil War, thousands of boys were displaced or orphaned. In 1989, Mecak Ajang Alaak led the Lost Boys on a four-year journey from Ethiopia to Kenya to protect them from becoming child soldiers. This is the abridged account of that extraordinary true story.
