CHAPTER SUMMARY
Southern Sudan, 2009:
After days of drilling, water starts to come out of the hole! People begin to cheer and celebrate but Nya becomes concerned: the water is brown and dirty.
Ifo refugee camp, Kenya, 1992-1996:
Salva is now 22 years old and has been in Kenyan refugee camps for 5 years. Some of the people at the camps were families, but most were orphaned boys and young men. Life in the camps was difficult. There was little food and much sickness. Salva makes friends with Michael, an aid worker, who starts to teach him English. Michael also teaches Salva to play volleyball! Salva hears a rumor that some boys will be sent to the United States. One day, Salva’s name finally appears on a list saying that he will be going to Rochester, New York.
