Storyboard Tekst

  • Southern Sudan, 2008
  • Nya is an 11-year-old girl living in Southern Sudan. She endures the hot sun on her twice-daily walk to the pond and back to her home.
  • Every day, she spends hours collecting water from the muddy pond, far from her home.
  • He made and lost a friend, Marial, who was eaten by a lion.
  • This is her routine seven months of the year, away from her second home, a camp. The camp is much closer to a lake, but also close to the fighting between her tribe, the Nuer, and the Dinka tribe.
  • His group stopped at an island in the Nile River, where they were relentlessly attacked by mosquitos.
  • Southern Sudan, 1985
  • Salva, wearing a red shirt, is an 11-year-old boy living in Southern Sudan. He is a member of the Dinka tribe. Bored with class and about to go home, he doesn't know that his life is about to change forever...
  • Southern Sudan, 2008
  • BANG!
  • Gunfire! Everybody, run! Don't go home. That's where the armies will be. Run into the bushes! NOW!
  • Salva ran into the wild, and soon found himself amidst several other people walking east to Ethiopia. He didn't know if he would ever see his family again.
  • Southern Sudan, 2008
  • Ethiopia, 1985
  • You should take your sister Akeer with you, Nya. She needs to learn.
  • I don't want to take Akeer... she's only five years old. She walks too slowly.
  • Southern Sudan, 1985
  • He would go on to live in that camp for six years.
  • Salva faced many trials along his journey. His group slept in a barn, and when he woke up, he learned they had left him behind. Thankfully, the woman who owned the barn allowed him to stay until another group came by.
  • Ethiopia, July 1991
  • Salva found his uncle while he was walking, but he died too after being shot by soldiers. His uncle had taught him a valuable lesson: to take things one step at a time.
  • Eventually, soldiers came to the Itang refugee camp and forced everybody to flee. Salva was forced to cross the crocodile-infested Gilo River while soldiers tried to shoot him.
  • Akeer is sick. We should take her to the hospital, but it's a few days' walk from here.
  • I'm worried... I don't get a lot of water from that pond. If my mother boils it, it'll all boil away.
  • She should be better now, but she needs to drink clean water from now on. Dirty water is what got her sick. Boil the water before she drinks it.
  • Salva found his father, who sprinkled water on his head. This was a blessing for someone who had gone missing and was found again, and it gave Salva an idea. He wanted to help his people.
  • Despite all of his hardships, after weeks of walking, Salva made it to the Itang refugee camp. Still, without his family, he was sad. He kept himself going by keeping his mind set on just the day he was in and no other, like his uncle had taught him.
  • Southern Sudan, 2009
  • Huh? What's going on?
  • That's great! Now I won't have to walk so far every day!
  • We're drilling for water. Soon there will be a pond here.
  • Salva started walking again, this time south to Kenya. He soon became the leader of a massive group of more than a thousand people. They walked for a year and a half before finally making it to the Kakuma camp.
  • He eventually left the Kakuma camp to go to the Ifo camp, and there he was eventually sent to America. Salva was overjoyed to be part of a new family, but at the same time, he was nervous.
  • One day in 2003, Salva opened his email on the family computer and was shocked. His cousin wrote to tell him his father was having stomach surgery in the United Nations.
  • E-Mail
  • Dear Salva, I amwriting to inform you
  • Southern Sudan,2009
  • The water well is complete!
  • Can I speak to your boss? I want to thank him.
  • My name is Nya. Thank you for bringing us water.
  • It's very nice to meet you, Nya...
  • My name is Salva.
