Salva had never seen anything like the desert. Around his
village, Loun-Ariik, enough grass and shrubs grew to feed
the grazing cattle. There were even trees. But here in the
desert, nothing green could survive except tiny evergreen
acacia bushes, which somehow endured the long winter
months with almost no water.
Uncle said it would take three days to cross the Akobo.
Salva's shoes stood no chance against the hot stony desert
ground. The soles, made from rubber tire treads, had
already been reduced to shreds held together with a little
leather and a great deal of hope. After only a few minutes,
Salva had to kick off the flapping shreds and continue
barefoot.
