John lived in a rural village where his family raised cows. He had a pleasant life until he was 13. At that time, soldiers attacked his village, and he was separated from his parents. A neighbor named Abraham helped him, and they walked for months, traveling over 500 miles to Ethiopia, where they were headed for a refugee camp called Pinyudu.
Martha lived in the city of Juba. She was five years old when her mother took her sister and her to live with a cousin in the country because war was coming to their city. While their parents were away at church, the country home was attacked. Martha's relative took her, her sister, and her own five children on a very long journey to find shelter at a refugee camp called Pinyudu. Along the way, they hid from soldiers and fought illness, dehydration, and starvation.
