9/24

Today in class we took a test that covered what we learned in unit one. I am very confident that I did good on it. We also watched a video on Nation Geographic. It was about three boys who were in a group called ''The Lost Boys of Sudan," and their actions, feelings, and struggles. It started with a war between the North and South in 1993, the muslims took over the Sudan territory because they didn't have the same beliefs. Everyone fled because there were so many people being killed. It started off with 27,000 people and ended with 12,000, which means 15,000 boys were killed. The United Nations set up a program to give the boys an education, food, water, clothing and other necessary supplies. Also, several hundred were chosen to go to the United States, they got to choose where they stayed. They also thought the states were countries, and they never knew what a shower looked like, or even what one was! This is so crazy to me, and shows how fortunate America truly is.
