It is a bright sunny day when Mawien is kicking pebbles with his rod over his shoulder in desperate search for his family. He is a Lost child trying to navigate back to his normal life, Mawien lost his family when they were running from soldiers from the Nuer tribe and were forced to separate for safety. Currently, he is heading to a pond when he heard soldiers approaching. They were loud! He hid behind a tall tree. A tall striking soldier spotted him as he ran away.

Soldiers kept chasing Mawien before he leapt into a small rocky river. He was holding his breath while the soldiers fired at the little river. When they fired he hid under a rock. Then, he swam away before the soldiers left. After the soldiers were gone Mawien remembered the Itang refugee camp. He remembered it was nearby. He began trailing his way towards the busy camp.

As Mawien approached the camp he recognized a few people there. He greeted & reunited with his lost folks. They were relieved to learn that everyone is healthy, as they are wondering what to do next.

As they chatted, They slowly began to hear loud soldiers. They bombed the camp, scaring and surprising people by the sudden rage of outburst, Mawien realized this and found his relatives. They ran away, but didn't know where they were going next.

He ran with his relatives as he grabbed them tightly. They were searching for a new location, everyone felt confident in his plan. They fled past the soldiers. They didn't realize they escaped they ran and ran. Suddenly, they discovered an abandoned village, as their minds fled with ideas on what to make.

After coming up with descriptive ideas Mawien and one of his cousins went to gather some fresh berries from a nice bush as they made a soup for the rest of the people. Everybody had already begun building shelters as Mawien and his cousin got back.

He and his cousin talked for a long while about how finding each other at the camp was huge to come up with this plan. They went back to everyone else as they calmly shared what they envisioned doing as they built survival supplies to survive in this war between Northern and Southern Sudan.
