Deng Adut's family were farmers in South Sudan when a brutal civil war altered his life forever. At six years old, the age most Australian children are starting school, Deng began harsh military training that saw this young boy trained to use an AK-47 and sent into battle. He lost the right to be a child. This account serves as an important reminder of the power of compassion and the benefit to us all when we open our doors and our hearts to those fleeing war and persecution.
