Who ever has read "They Poured Fire On Us from the Sky" I need help with a few questions plz?
The positive aspects of life in Kakuma were at least some education and the huge desire and appreciation for education. Also the communal lifestyle was great for friendship and support. The negatives were many. No medical care. Not enough food. No enough water. Mostly no hope for the future. Thank you for reading our book and please thank your instructor. Judy A. Bernstein
They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky. I need help identifying challenges and difficulties the three boys faced?
In the mid 1980's, troops of the oppressive fundamentalist government in Northern Sudan began attacking the Black Christian and animist villages in the south. As their houses burned, their parents killed, and their sisters taken into slavery, over 27,000 little boys fled into the night. Many no more than five or six years old, barefoot and naked, without food or water, began their epic journey that would take them a thousand miles across Sudan into Ethiopia. They crossed deserts and mountains, dodged enemy fire and wild animals and endured thirst, starvation and disease. Less than half survived. Five years later they reached Kakuma Refugee Camp in dry desolate northern Kenya where they began to learn English sitting under trees and writing in the sand. For the next nine years, living on a half cup of cornmeal a day, they built nineteen schools and dedicated themselves to education. They became known to the world as the Lost Boys of Sudan. Their bravery and perseverance through unimaginable injustices and hardships is testimony to the strength of the human spirit. Without parents to guide them, they emerged as polite, kind, and capable young men who, despite the odds, managed to achieve the equivalent of a secondary education in what was for most a third or fourth language, English. With over two million of their countrymen killed in the holocaust that is still going on today, in 2001, with still no peace in sight, the United States recognized their hopeless situation and welcomed 3800 Lost Boys to this country as refugees. http://www.theypouredfire.com/lostboys.h...

Whats the chapter 2 summary of they poured fire on us?
They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The True Story of Three Lost Boys of Sudan (2005) is a book co-authored with Judy A. Bernstein. It's the autobiographical story of brothers Benson Deng and Alephonsion Deng, and their cousin Benjamin Ajak. It describes their ordeal during the Second Sudanese Civil War as they flee as refugees across Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya before they make it to a refugee camp in Kenya. There they sign up to take part in the Lost Boys of Sudan program and resettle in America. Benjamin, Alepho, and Benson were raised among the Dinka tribe of Sudan. Their world was an insulated, close-knit community of grass-roofed cottages, cattle herders, and tribal councils. The lions and pythons that prowled beyond the village fences were the greatest threat they knew. All that changed the night the government-armed Murahiliin began attacking their villages. Amid the chaos, screams, conflagration, and gunfire, five-year-old Benson and seven-year-old Benjamin fled into the dark night. Two years later, Alepho, age seven, was forced to do the same. Across the Southern Sudan, over the next five years, thousands of other boys did likewise, joining this stream of child refugees that became known as the Lost Boys. Their journey would take them over one thousand miles across a war-ravaged country, through landmine-sown paths, crocodile-infested waters, and grotesque extremes of hunger, thirst, and disease. The refugee camps they eventually filtered through offered little respite from the brutality they were fleeing. In They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky, Alepho, Benson, and Benjamin, by turn, recount their experiences along this unthinkable journey. They vividly recall the family, friends, and tribal world they left far behind them and their desperate efforts to keep track of one another. This is a captivating memoir of Sudan and a powerful portrait of war as seen through the eyes of children. And it is, in the end, an inspiring and unforgettable tribute to the tenacity of even the youngest human spirits. Have a pleasant day.
