CHAPTER SUMMARY
Southern Sudan, 2009:
The well is finally finished and Nya no longer has to spend her days walking to fetch unclean water. She learns that a school in America raised the money to build the well. Soon the new village school will also be finished. There is talk of a new marketplace and even a clinic. The building of the well is causing all of these wonderful things to happen. Nya’s brother tells her that the crew leader is a Dinka who has built many wells for his people, but this year decided to build one for the Nuer. Nya is shocked that a Dinka would do this and goes to thank him. She introduces herself to Salva.
