SUMMARY:April Call to Peace with Peter Magai Bul
DESCRIPTION:Join us to send peace and love to all countries and meet our inspirational special guest Peter Magai Bul. https://theimmigrantstory.org/lost-boy/\nWe met Peter when he started representing South Sudan in the World Peace Flag Ceremony in 2014 at Peace Day. (Buildthepeace.org) and he has been huge supporter every year since then. Peter embarked on harrowing journey as one of the “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan” at the age of 8 when his ethnic Dinka population was attacked by the Sudanese government sending thousands of boys and girls separated from their families to survive over a decade struggling for their lives in exile. Hear about how he relied on his strong cultural upbringing to make it through years of unimaginable conditions and then went on to draw on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own experiences to make a change in the world. Also learn about his upcoming exhibit at Navy Pier:\nhttp://www.southsudanmagaibul.org/events\nJoin us here live or on zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81369934785 ID 813 6993 4785\nRead Peter’s complete bio below:\nPeter Magai Bul was born in Wangulei\, South Sudan. In 1988\, when Bul was only seven\, war in Sudan forced him to leave his family and embark upon the longest exodus of his life that first sent him to exile in Ethiopia. He is one of 26\,000 “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan\,” driven from their villages when the Sudanese government attacked his ethnic Dinka population of Southern Sudan in 1988. After escaping the Ethiopian war of 1991 to the border of Sudan and Kenya\, further attacks by the Sudanese government’s soldiers forced a final exile to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya where he and about survived 14\,000 Lost Boys and Lost Girls resisted life-threatening conditions for a total of nine long years. Bul and about 3\,800 Sudanese refugees were finally resettled in the US in 2001.\nDuring his long walk\, he relied on his strong cultural upbringing that allowed him to survive. Later\, in the U.S.\, he drew on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own skills to make change in the world. As a survivor and a member of generation betrayed by the Sudanese leaders who murdered and displaced millions of his people throughout many decades of endless civil wars\, Bul is committed to championing the unity of his scattered people as well as peace in South Sudan and from the around the world. Throughout his thirteen years of struggles from various refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya\, Bul served as a leader\, caring for hundreds of motherless and fatherless children and he continue serving others throughout his over twenty years of living in the United States of America.\n\nBul shared his story with thousands of people at the invitations of faith-based institutions\, community organizations\, universities\, high schools\, elementary schools\, and other public venues. He made television appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show\, Avy Meyers North Town News Magazine\, as well as in news segments on WGN\, Voice of America\, and CAN TV\, among others. Stories from various aspects of his life have been published in news sources such as The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Sun Times\, and Naperville’s Daily Herald. Bul is a passionate advocate for his homeland and the U.S Sudanese Community. He served as a Board Member for the Chicago Association for the Lost Boys of Sudan (CALBOS) and Sudanese Community Association of Illinois (SCAI)\, among others. He cofounded and served as a President of nonprofit organization\, the Philadelphia-based Ayual Community Development Association (ACDA).
