      This is the kind of life they lived before moving to America. But is this a bit exaggerated to gain the sympathy of others, precisely sponsors and americans? Or is this just the bare truth?

      This is not what they expected after over 10 years of being lost. After Ethiopia and Kakuma, the lost boys probably built up their expectations of America so high that they were shocked of what was waiting for them. 
  • "America wasn't paradise and it wasn't as easy as they told you in the camps," says Samuel, who has done the rounds of menial jobs: he's been a security guard and is now a bagger, someone who puts shoppers' groceries in their bags at supermarkets.

  • "In our culture, women are being dominated. Not just in Sudan, but in all of Africa. Maybe people don't think we did much, because they see us as followers of the 'Lost Boys'." "But the fact remains ladies were there."
  • Few have thought to inquire about the fate of the "Lost Girls". Although an estimated 3,000 arrived in Kakuma in 1992, most have simply vanished from official records
  • "We have lost them... they are completely lost", Mr Mable says regretfully, "They have lost that status of lost girls. Some of them are mothers. They are married...There's nothing I can do - or anyone else can do" But it is clear that some of the 'Lost Girls' continue to suffer greatly.
