by David Nyuol Vincent (LWH)
This is an inspiring personal story of David, a 'Lost Boy' of Sudan and a child soldier. Having survived famine, war, and a long walk across the Sahara Desert, he still had to survive 17 years alone in in a refugee camp in Kenya. His only hope was to escape and find his family, his only passion was soccer.
This is 'his story' and tells of his amazing struggle of survival and finally his resettlement in Australia. Surviving the war between North and South Sudan and escaping from death many times, David thought he would be free and safe now living in Australia, only to experience racism here in Australia.
There are many others like him and some family members still living in inhumane conditions. David has become an advocate for refugees and the Sudanese community. He has established the Western Tigers Soccer team and is ,s a Victorian Human Rights Youth Ambassador and a People of Australia Ambassador.
