In 1992, the conflict of the Sudanese Civil War resulted in the mass migration of thousands of Sudanese boys. This huge group of children were without adult supervision and care, and they travelled a total of one thousand miles through the Sahara desert. Many of them died of starvation and exposure during their journey. They were given the name the Lost Boys.
There are people existing among us with a special trait or characteristic that makes them stand out above the masses. They are “heroes” in a sense, who perform great acts of sacrifice and promote hope when it seems that the last drop of faith has evaporated from one’s soul. These individuals remind us of saints who walked before us, healing and caring for the sick and destitute when no other man dared. Author, Tracy Kidder (2004), brings to the forefront the noble deeds of a modern day saint, Paul Farmer, through his writing in Mountains Beyond Mountains. He illustrates how a single man can lead nations toward healing, even in the midst of war, turmoil, limited resources, or “mountains” of bureaucratic red tape. Although the book tells a story about Farmer’s life, academic achievements, and global contributions toward curing infectious diseases, the main theme, as illustrated by the book title, is that no matter what a person does, there is always more to be done. Beyond the hills and valleys of Farmer’s journey, Kidder (2004) provides scenes of leadership styles along the way. Is a leader born or is leadership learned? A review of Paul Farmer’s mission, through the eyes of the author, may provide insight to support both philosophies.
Since 1983, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese government have been at war within the southern region of Sudan. This brutal conflict has ravaged the country claiming hundreds of lives and exiling a vast number of the southern Sudanese people. Most of these outcasts were young men aging between five and twelve years of age who returned home from tending cattle to see their village being attacked and their fellow villagers being killed by government militias . These boys fled, not knowing what they would encounter on the journey to escape the violence in their own country. Hungry, frightened, and weak from their long and hellish journey, the boys reached refugee camps outside of Sudan. Even though many young men were killed on their journeys to and from refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia, many remained at these camps for numerous years. While in the camps, they heard news of an opportunity to travel to the United States for hope and a promise of a better life. In Mark Bixler’s The Lost Boys of Sudan: An American Story of The Refugee Experience, Bixler depicts the story of these young men or Lost Boys’ and their determination to receive an education that would not only transform their lives but also the lives of their kinsmen.
The Lost Boys of Sudan was about 17,000 boys. Some of the boys died of starvation hunger, dehydration or by getting eaten by animals during the journey to a place of safety. Although this may seem like a made-up story. it wasn’t. It was all real to salva, a lost boy in Sudan who survived the journey. This young boy (Salva) endured long walks to camps across the country, becoming a leader and making a positive impact on water in sudan which was a consistent struggle in Sudan. This boy has been written about in a book called “A Long Walk To Water” By Linda Sue Park. Salva’s life wasn’t easy as we read in the book. Salva has lived and survived with these survival factors: Hope, Persistent and Bravery.
James Nachtwey was born on March 14, 1948 in Syracuse, New York. He was a war photographer. The civil war was an inspiration for him to create photographs of war zones. James had happened to be in New York September 11, 2001, when the towers fell to ruble. He felt awkward being in cities, he often felt he needed to be on an assignment, taking photographs and documenting conflicts and what not. That morning he sat in his loft drinking his morning coffee while looking out upon the Brooklyn Bridge and crystal-clear sky the bluest he ever saw in a long time. A conditional piolet would call it "severe clear". The Bridge was golden lit from behind. The water taking on the angel like color of the sun as the light spread across the surface. From the
In this model leaders “select” specific behaviors that are best for the needs of his goal. According to the author there are four behaviors in the path goal theory that a leader could follow. One is the directive leadership, where the leader informs the followers what is expected from them. Another is the supportive leadership, that is when the leader shows concern for the followers and have friendly interactions with them. Third is participative leadership, when the captain gets involved with his team to achieve the goal as a group. Finally, is the achievement leadership; occurs when the leader demand from the followers challenging goals so they perform their best. This is not useful in Lamatepec’s high school soccer team because the captain should contribute the same or even more to the team as his teammates and with this model that would not be
Along the way, to survive, the boys ate leaves, wild berries and small insects and drank water from mud and even their own urine. According to Amal, one of the lost boys, planes from the United Nations and the American Red Cross would sometimes drop food for them. Despite this, many of the boys died due to starvation, dehydration or were killed by wild animals.The older children would pick up the younger ones and help them when they were too tired to walk. After two long months of walking the boys finally reacheda United Nations refugee camp in Ethiopia. They stayed there for four years; during that time they studied and learned English and made their own families−composed of 9-10 boys− every one of them looked after one another. Following the changes of government in Ethiopia, in 1991, they found themselves running for their lives once again. Chased by tanks and armed militia the boys, headed for Kenya, came in contact with the River Gilo; the river was swarmed with crocodiles and its waters were high. They rushed to it and frantically swam towards the other side, safety, but many drowned, were shot at or w...
Hall describes a series of phases that leaders must transcend through to realize the global importance of people and to make aware the value behind their choices and behaviors. To move from phase to phase, one must have an internal dissatisfaction that motivates them to search for something more. It is this intrinsic desire that servant-leaders possess that propels them to search for truth and a greater understanding of relationships and the world.
It is often thought that in order to lead a happy and fulfilled life, you need to be successful. In the book The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, we are brought to the summer of 1953 in New York City. Here we meet Esther Greenwood, a guest editor for a New York magazine. Esther lives in an all girl hotel with 11 college roommates. Philomena Guinea, a famous novelist, took an interest in Esther’s letter and sponsored Esther’s college scholarship. Esther’s failure to adapt to cultural expectations to be successful and content is what has caused her to feel deadened. The pressure of feeling like a pariah is what influenced Esther’s suicidal tendencies.
The ‘Lost boys of Sudan' is a common name given to more than 20000 boys of Dinka and Nuer tribal groups. The research narrates the struggle of refugees, the need for conflict resolution and various political concepts. The ‘lost boys' refer to three young boys who fled from their country, Sudan, during the civil war and sought refuge in other countries. Their story depicts violent events that occurred during the second civil war in Sudan. The war mainly affected the Dinka and Nuer ethnic groups of Southern Sudan (Ajak, 2006).

I wish he was never
...the refugee camps that housed them, they were aided by the International Committee of the Red Cross (UNICEF).While most of them continued to suffer and die in Africa, some got a quality life and education if they were chosen to go to the safe haven of the United States and live with a family there. “The young men are some of the ‘Lost Boys of Sudan,’ named for Peter Pan’s young band in the fictional account by J.M. Barrie. These real Lost Boys got separated from families and went through a cruel adventure of almost biblical proportions before some 3,800 found refuge in the United Sates.” (Bollag). In the United States, most attended universities, became successful, and later found privileged jobs. About one 1,200 Lost Boys who were separated from their families were reconnected by UNICEF (UNICEF). Though some were reunited, the people of Sudan were forever broken.
Imagine if you had to walk for what seems to be an endless amount of time. Starved and thirsty, you see people dying brutal deaths from starvation, thirst, bandits, and animal attacks. Well, this was the fate of the refugees, also known as the Lost Boys of Sudan, who fled from Sudan to escape the Second Sudanese Civil War. Luckily, there are a few pieces of text that documented the events of the war, such as the novel, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park, and the articles “The Lost Boys of the Sudan” by UNICEF and “The ‘Lost Girls’ of Sudan” by Isabel Matheson. Some events have been followed by the novel, such as the boys’ movement to America.
Eadweard Muybridge was a remarkable English photographer born in 1830. At the beginning of his photography career he was mostly interested in capturing scenes of the Wild West in his mobile darkroom. However, he is most notable for his invention of the Zoopraxiscope. In 1872, Leland Stanford, former governor of California, businessman and race-horse owner, had a sparked interest in a (then) controversial topic. He wanted to know whether or not all four of a horse’s legs are simultaneously in the air at a given time while galloping.
