What is the What


Check out Dave Eggers, What is the What. This is an inspirational read. A wonderful story of the true life experience of Valentino Achak Deng, one of the thousands of Lost Boys, who was forced to leave his village in Sudan and to venture across 3 countries to finally reach freedom in Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp and eventually here in the United States.

You can learn more about Valentino and his efforts at: www.valentinoachakdeng.org

**Lodwar 13 teammates, I think you'd really enjoy this story. Many of the places we travelled through and even stayed are mentioned. ie: a hotel in Kitale is mentioned and the breakfast room where they crowded into.
