Zachariah Machar Abraham Deng (Age 11)


Machar's father died in the war. His mother and older brother lives in
Malakal. "I heard about the school here and that there are orphans, so
I came here. I was staying with a relative at the time. I came here on
foot."

Machar likes learning. "If I have a good education, I'll have a better
life," he says. "I want to be a doctor."

When he's not in school, he likes to take care of the goats at the
children's home.
