As an 8-year-old, Augustino Ting Mayai didn’t ask God for a new bike, a homerun or an A on his spelling quiz. He asked God to keep him alive.

When his village in southern Sudan was attacked nearly 20 years ago, Mayai became one of thousands of young boys to flee their war-ridden homes and walk hundreds of miles to safety, many never to see their families again. As word spread about these young refugees, they soon became known internationally for their hardships as the “Lost Boys of Sudan.”
