Lost boys urged the South Sudanese abroad to bring home their skills to build the independent South Sudan.
Lost Boy Valentino Achak Deng told SCR News yesterday in Juba that Southerners in the diaspora must come home and apply what they learned abroad to help the government build the new state.He said Southerners in the diaspora can help in different areas like road construction, health, education and even empowering the SPLA and the legislative assembly.
Mr. Achak said the Lost Boys established the Marial Bai High School in Northern Bahr el Ghazal in 2009.
He added that the school has 250 students from the ten states of South Sudan and this year they will be 400.
The school cost nearly half a million dollars to be built.
Lost Boys is a group of South Sudanese children that crossed on foot to Ethiopia and then to Kenya during the civil war. Later they were received in the USA, Canada, Australia and other countries.
