  • VAD: It is very close to the truth, but many things in the book are somewhat different than what happened in life. Some characters have been combined. Some time is compressed. They are minor things, but they were necessary. For one thing, I was very young when the book begins, so I could not remember conversations and small details from my early childhood in Marial Bai. It was necessary to reconstruct the chronology, and that is what Dave did. He took the basic facts and then created the story from there.

      He states that he didn't make What is the What a biography because he couldn't remember all the tiny details on the way. Because some of the characters were combined and the time was compressed. Could this give him a 'slack' or possibly an excuse to exaggerate a bit in some parts of the story?

      There are different perspectives to resettlement in America because different boys were placed in different situations. In some articles, boys who were moved to America mentioned that this is not what they expected, they cannot get any education and must work with a low paying job. But David, on the other hand, is in a whole different situation. He is a successful example of resettlement of the Lost Boys in America who got into college and is in the right situation to even go back to Sudan to help others.  But is this fair? Some people being more lucky than others, when they all went through the same things?

  • CAMP, Kenya, 6 August (UNHCR) – Kakuma Refugee Camp has surpassed its capacity of 100,000 residents, creating serious concerns as more refugees continue to arrive.

    This is a very recent article from the 6th August 2012 about the struggles that Kakuma refugee camp is now facing. It is a very short article mainly about the fact that the camp is exceeding its maximum population.
