David Mayom's description of his experiences as a lost boy and life afterwards
The movie entitled Lost Boys of Sudan certainly talks about a number of boys who were compelled to flee their residential homes for various refugee camps, USA as well as the European nations States during the civil warfare that took place in Sudan. An astonishing voyage across Africa took away the lives of some people. David Mayom, who is the writer of the film, points out that those who survived were frequently left having no family as well as no optimisms for going back home. However, the Lost Boys did not disregard their mother country, Sudan or rather their members of the family. Most of Lost Boys, who are currently having university degrees, certainly are working towards improving the living standards of other Sudanese that they left. Each Lost Boy indeed is involved in various projects that are meant to improve education and health in their homeland. With the system of teaching transitioning from Arab towards English, Sudan indeed as noted by David Mayom is certainly a dire need for professionals, particularly teachers, who are having vast experience when it comes to working the students who are non-traditional. Most the Lost Boys have indeed been capable of reconnecting with family members otherwise applying their education towards fulfilling the demands of their past hometowns(Ocasio 112). This is because most of the Last Boys are in need of building their country so as to improve the lives of the citizens.
Difficulties the Sudanese refugees have in adapting to live in America
Discrimination. This is a very sensitive issue and typically a major problem that is facing most of the refugees in adapting to American life. Most of the Lost Boys are feeling discriminated and have certainly owned up that discrimination is a phenomenon in America.
Remittance- This is also a primary difficulty that most of the refugees are facing. Nearly all the Sudanese in America send money home. The pressure of sending the money home. This is typically meant for bettering the lives of their members of the family that they left at home. Most of the Lost Boys can never imagine of absconding to send such amount of money to their families back at home. This is indeed achieved no matter whatever their conditions are within the refugee camps(Ocasio 116).
The major complaints that the Lost Boys are having include the pressure by their family members back at home to send them money no matter conditions that they are undergoing. This was making them do various odd jobs so as to satisfy diverse needs back at home.
