Lost Boys of Sudan

Tonight I went to listen to Moses, a Lost boy from Sudan speak. He discribed the conditions he came from in Sudan. There was a civil war going on that over 4,000 people had to flee from the area. Many died along the escape route due to lack of food, water, and rest. By some miracle Moses finally found his way to South Dakota. (Which many people I know would not consider a miracle.) When arriving in the United States he knew vary little English. In the 6 years he has been here he has gotten his GED, became a US citizen, recieved his associates degree in electric work and will soon be a liscenced pilot as well. He has great hopes to make a difference in his country by helping to build schools. A good education can make a world of differnce to the people of Sudan; Moses has proven that. It continues to amaze me how many blessings we have, just being American. We take so much for granted. I was reminded again this evening how thankful we all should be for our lives. All Moses is asking for is pennies.
