who dies in a long walk to water
A Long Walk to Water Salva Dut is a young 11-year-old boy separated from his family during a war in what is now South Sudan because of the Second Sudanese Civil War. He has to walk for weeks with only the hope that one day he will find his family again. Salva also struggles to find food and water to survive along with avoiding gunmen, lions and other threats. Salva leads 1,500 fellow lost boys to a refugee camp near the Gilo River. On his way many people die including his uncle and some of his friends. Seven years later, he arrives in America. He lives with a family in Rochester, New York. Many years later he finds his father who tells him that most of his family survived. Later he starts a volunteer group to build wells in South Sudan called Water for South Sudan.
