Fulfilling Your Dream: Mariak Machok Chuor, A Lost Boy of South Sudan
(Diversity)
Over the last 38 years, Sudan conflict has left over 5 million people dead and thousands in exile or displaced throughout the world. Mariak Machok Chuor is one of the Lost Boys from Sudan, a group of young boys and girls who were forced out by decades of Civil War in their homeland. Mariak Machok Chuor was separated from his parents when he was 8 years old, was forced to serve in the Sudanese People Liberation Army Movement when he was 9, was resettled in the United States during the 1990s and has not seen his family in over 20 years. He uses his dark yet inspiring story to shine light on perserverance, self-motivation and the grace of God saying, With God's help, you can turn tragedy into triumph. Join us as we listen to his empowering and encouraging story as he reads and speaks from Fulfilling Your Dream, a chapter in his riveting book Rebuilding What Had Been Destroyed.
