	<Lost Boys of Sudan>
		Lost Boys of Sudan is the name of an International Rescue Committee program to resettle refugee boys from Sudan to the United States who were displaced and/or orphaned during the Second Sudanese Civil War (1984-2005, about 2 million killed).
		Most of the boys were orphaned or separated from their families when government troops systematically attacked villages in southern Sudan killing many of the inhabitants, most of whom were civilians.
		The younger boys survived in large numbers because they were away tending herds or were able to escape into the nearby jungles.

		During the Lost Boys and Girls Reunion, the refugees were invited to participate in a survey designed to determine the prevalence of chronic abdominal pain.
		The second option of universal screening of the Lost Boys cohort and treatment of those who test positive was also considered, but would be impossible to implement because reliable serologic tests are not locally available and the CDC laboratory does not have the reagents or capacity to perform testing on this scale.
		Lost Boys and Girls who have a history of cysticercosis or are pregnant should not receive presumptive treatment and should have serologic testing for schistosomiasis and strongyloidiasis performed at CDC.

	OFFOFFOFF film review LOST BOYS OF SUDAN documentary movie by Megan Mylan, Jon Shenk with Santino Majok Chuor, Peter ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The documentary "Lost Boys of Sudan" could be less aloof from its subjects — two orphaned youths brought from war-torn Sudan to live in the alien environment of Texas — but it's still a worthwhile look at American life through foreign eyes.
		"Lost Boys of Sudan," a film by San Francisco-based filmmakers Megan Mylan and Jon Shenk, is such a documentary, treating the development and adaptation of two Sudanese refugees who hail from a Kenyan refugee camp but find themselves groping for purchase in America's smooth plains.
		Some observations of the boys are less benign, however; repeatedly, throughout the film, the boys (although Peter and Santino are not guilty of the more egregious examples) voice regressive and sweeping stereotypes about American fl men.

	Lost Boys Part One, The Long Journey
		James belongs to a group of refugees referred to by aid organizations as the "Lost Boys of Sudan." Named after Peter Pan's cadre of orphans, some 26,000 Sudanese boys were forced by violence from their southern Sudan villages in the late 1980s.
		James was too young to notice the civil war that raged throughout southern Sudan, until the night when the conflict between the northern, Khartoum-based government and Christians in the south abruptly ended his tranquil life of herding cattle and tending to his blind uncle in his village called Duk.
		Most of the Lost Boys, like James, are from the Dinka or Nuer tribes of Southern Sudan, where hundreds of villages have been burned, livestock stolen and families decimated.

		Orphaned youngsters, they fled their villages in Sudan in the 1980s, afraid they would be slaughtered as many of their families were by government troops.

	Reviews for The Lost Boys of Sudan: An American Story of the Refugee Experience
		As a former college president, I am especially taken by the Lost Boys' intense desire to gain a college education and by the personal sacrifices they are willing to make to achieve their goal.

		The Lost Boys of Sudan should appeal not only to readers drawn to the dramatic story that unfolds in its pages, but also to US government officials and private organizations involved in refugee resettlement who want to improve their programs.
