Friday in class we watch "The Lost Boys" and it was mainly about how they are ajusting to live in America and how the food on the plain tastes like soap. The Sudanians talked about becoming wealthy and going back to Sudan and helping thier families. It also showed how different the cultures between Sudan and the United States are.

"The civil war in Sudan has moved or killed more than 4 million southerners. Some fled into southern cities, such as Juba; others moved as far north as Khartoum and even into Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people were unable to grow food or earn money to feed themselves, and malnutrition and starvation became widespread. The lack of investment in the south resulted as well in what international humanitarian organizations call a “lost generation” who lack educational opportunities, access to basic health care services, and little prospects for productive employment in the small and weak economies of the south or the north."
