LOST GENERATION

The Story of a Sudanese Orphan by Peter Garang Deng

 

Is Peter biography and memoirs of what he went through at the very young age as an orphan child in South Sudan.

“Peter Deng is a testament to all that is good, just and noble in our world. His journey one rooted in heartache-captured my students on numerous levels. Peter’s pain is palpable, yet he refuses to dwell on it. His is a poignant story of the resilience of the human spirit; and he is determined to wake us up to the healing power of “giving back”-of transforming somber memories into hope by funding South Sudanese orphans in their quest for an education and a bright future. It was an absolute honor to listen to Peter’s story in person. You weep for his lost childhood, but applaud his strength and celebrate his sense of purpose. Thank you, Peter, for your courage and your generosity of spirit.”  Rowshan Nemazee, Champlain College Core Division.

 "This is the book everybody in this world should read.  This book teach us all that nothing is impossible for human beings to overcome apart from death. this book change my life after I read it. Thank to Peter for putting his bad experience to an opportunity to bring hope to orphans of his motherland."Champlain College Student from business department.

Why Many Orphans in South Sudan

Many people wonder as to why there are so many orphans in Sudan, particularly in Southern Sudan. Well this has always been a simple question to answer by those who had live in South Sudan for good number of their life time but it is hard to get an answer for this question from those who haven't live there and experience what is like to be being in that war zone country. The 21 years civil war between North and Southern Sudan which has claimed an approximate of 2 million lives has leave the country with a great number of orphaned children that have no one to take care of them and provide them with their basic needs. Another cause of orphans in South Sudan, which is actually overlooked by some people around the world, is lack of health sectors. I mean there are not good hospitals in the country. In fact if you go to Dinka villages in Southern Sudan it is hard to see clinic build around. As a result to the lack of access to the basic health care people die prematurely from the diseases that cannot kill person in a developed world and with that the number of orphans keep increasing on yearly basis. These orphan who’s parents dead as a results of wars or parents dying prematurely, these kids are left behind with no one caring for them and they live a street life for they can't afford to go to school and become educated. We cannot afford to let these orphans suffer and that is why they are the focus of New Sudan Jonglei Orphans Foundation. It is hard for people to believe that when you educate an orphan child today he or she will also educate five to ten other orphans in future. It sound as if it is not true but it is.
