Abraham Manyok Thuch
Abraham is 25 years old and comes from the Upper Nile region of Sudan, in a village called Poktap. When he was about 12 years old, the rebel army began training him to be a soldier, and when he was old enough at 16, he was put into battle. He fought only once, and then decided to escape the army in 1999, crossed the river Nile into the Bahr-el-Gazal region of Southern Sudan, and eventually made it to (relative) safety in Uganda in 1999. Some workers of the UN sponsored World Food Program brought him to Kakuma refugee camp in Northern Kenya in 2000, where he lived for 4 years. While he came to Nairobi in 2004, he didn’t enroll in Sud Academy until 2006 because he was very ill. His favourite subjects are history, government and religious studies. He is looking forward to attending school this year so that he can be properly equipped to move on to study politics or military science in university. He hopes to become a politician in Sudan so that he can defend the rights of his people. Manyok would like to say may God bless those who are kind enough to think of others in need, like him and his fellow classmates.
