CHAPTER SUMMARY
Southern Sudan, 2008:
The visitors leave and now the villagers must clear the land where the men said they would find water. The process of clearing the land is long and difficult; however each day as Nya returns from her trips to the pond she notices the progress. She is still doubtful about the visitors’ promise of water.
Southern Sudan and Ethiopia, 1985:
The group buries Uncle, and then continues their journey. Salva realizes that although he is filled with grief, he seems stronger and more determined to survive the journey. The other members of the group turn against Salva and do not share their food or help him. The group finally arrives at the refugee camp. Salva is shocked by the thousands of people there. Salva is grouped with other children who lost their families. Salva thinks he sees his mother and runs through the camp after her.
