Answer:

Here's a summary: In 2009, a well has just been completed in Nya’s village. Although the water is brown and murky, some of the younger children try to drink it right away—but their parents prevent them. Nya’s older brother, Dep, explains that the water is muddy because the men need to drill deeper, down to where the water runs clear. The well in Nya’s village promises to change the villagers’ lives in profound ways, provided that the water is actually clean enough to drink safely. The three thousand boys being brought to the United States are known as the Lost Boys. Salva will be traveling to New York with eight other boys. They ride from the refugee camp into Nairobi in Kenya. Their photographs are taken and they’re given thorough medical examinations. Salva receives new clothes—more clothing than he’s ever owned in his life.
