In the feeding camps I visited. childrentoo weak to walkhuddled next to their mothers. starving to death and falling victim to fatal diseases. Not only will these children never attend school. never learning to read or to write. but they will never have a chance to dream and hope. Basketball player Manute Bol. who has consistently worked on behalf of his people. tells of the tens of thousands of orphaned children in southern Sudan who roam from refugee camp to camp. many so weakened that they die along the way and are left to be eaten by wild animals. The fate of those children who flee Sudan is no better. It is estimated that about 11.000 children. most orphaned. are now living as refugees in Kenya. Many walk up to 900 miles to reach refugee camps. Many then vanish and are believed to be recruited to fight in the civil war with the opposition Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army. For those who do not die of starvation or who are not killed in the civil war. the future remains equally bleak.
