November 02, 2007
John Dau, a former Lost Boy of Sudan, has been nominated for the Quality of Life award in the 6th Annual Volvo for Life Awards.
Dau, one of 27,000 Lost Boys forced to flee their homes in Sudan when the northern government began attacking the south, arrived in the United States in 2001 after walking from Sudan to Ethiopia and Kenya. Now a respected activist working to help Sudan recover from the violence that plagues the country, Volvo for Life has nominated him for the Quality of Life Award for improving the lives of children 16-and-under.
