Fleeing for your life is not something that most of us can imagine. Unfortunately for Gabriel Bol Deng, this was the reality he was faced with at only 10 years of age when his village was attacked. Gabriel, along with other refugees, fled Southern Sudan and walked across endless miles of desert in search of safety. At a refugee camp in Kenya, he got his first taste of education and realized that education is the key component in bringing hope to his war torn country. Gabriel received the opportunity for an education when he was offered the chance to study in the United States. He has since graduated from college and is dedicated to raising funds to build a primary school in his home village of Ariang in Southern Sudan. With your help we can provide hope to children facing the horrific realities of life in Sudan that no child should have to encounter.
