Through the Fires of War
John Dau's story begins in a small village in Southern Sudan, where he lived a carefree childhood amidst the lush greenery and the love of his family. However, the idyllic existence was shattered by the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 1983. The conflict, fueled by ethnic and political strife, tore the country apart and forced millions to flee their homes.
At the tender age of 12, Dau and his younger brother were forced to join the throngs of displaced people, embarking on a perilous journey that would forever alter the course of their lives. They traversed treacherous landscapes, witnessing unspeakable atrocities and enduring unimaginable hardships. Along the way, they faced starvation, disease, and the constant threat of violence.
The Long Road to Refuge
Driven by an unwavering determination to survive, Dau and his brother pressed on, walking for months on end. They found solace in the camaraderie of other "Lost Boys," a term used to describe the thousands of children who were separated from their families during the conflict. Together, they formed a bond that would sustain them through the darkest of days.
Their arduous journey eventually led them to a refugee camp in Ethiopia, where they spent several years living in cramped and unsanitary conditions. Despite the challenges, Dau refused to succumb to despair. He dedicated himself to educating himself and his fellow refugees, organizing classes and establishing a school.
A Beacon of Hope
In 1999, Dau was granted asylum in the United States. However, his arrival in the "land of opportunity" was not without its hurdles. He struggled to adjust to a new culture, language, and way of life. But even as he grappled with the challenges of his new surroundings, Dau never forgot the plight of the people he left behind.
Determined to make a difference, Dau founded the Lost Boys Foundation in 2003. The organization is dedicated to providing education, health care, and other essential services to vulnerable populations in South Sudan.
