MY CHOICE TO WRITE BOOKS IS DRIVEN BY A HEARTFELT DESIRE TO OPEN UP ABOUT MY LIFE’S CHALLENGES AND SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD. I ASPIRE TO BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO, AT SOME POINT, MAY HAVE LOST HOPE WHILE CONFRONTING OBSTACLES. THROUGH MY BOOKS, I HOPE TO PROVIDE SOLACE AND MOTIVATION TO THOSE IN NEED
This is just one story of a Lost Boy, and it is Santino Mathok Akot’s story of survival. Every one of the Lost Boys and girls of Sudan has a different story. Yet so much of each story is the same. There was fear, death, exhaustion, starvation and also hope. Hope for a better life in a new place. Hope for an end to the journey and a place to call home.
This conflict profoundly every facet of my life, as I became one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. We were over 20,000 boys and girls facing threats of violence, abduction and forced military conscription during the war. To escape we embarked on a perilous journey, traversing vast distances on foot for days, weeks and even months, all in pursuit of a place where we could find refuge and safety—a refugee camp in neighboring countries.
Facing early parental loss, sibling separation, surviving war, and enduring life’s challenges across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, I, Santino Mathok Akot, have experienced a tumultuous journey. From refugee life to job searching, reuniting with family, overcoming marriage obstacles, and enduring further loss, my life has been marked by adversity.
My story serves as an inspiration to those who contemplate giving up during life’s trials. I’ve learned that maintaining self-belief and hope, even in the darkest moments, is crucial for success, a lesson that should resonate with future generations. Ease follows difficulty, and hopelessness is never the answer.
My journey is a testament to human resilience and unwavering hope. I write books and I speak to share my life’s challenges and inspire others facing relentless obstacles.
