Hannah: 6th

‘God grew tired of us' is a true story about approximately, 27,000 boys were refugees during the war. They had to flee because of Muslim domination in the Northern part of the country. The Lost Boys fled to Kenya, where they were assigned a refugee camp. Estimating, 3,801 of the boys were sponsored to be transferred to the United States. They were scattered throughout 38 cities, averaging about one hundred per city.The movie puts the story on the face of three refugees.  

"It was an incredible story, to see these boys' faces light up when they got what they needed form the world." says Cody, a writer at the Modern Typewriter.

Just to be in their position and know their opinions and feelings, you can't imagine what these boys have gone through. They have seen so much, been torn apart by war. Doctors say that this group of boys is the most war-traumatized group they've seen. It's just terrible to know that this is true.  When you experience something like this, you realize how selfish you've been in your life, such as wanting a "brand new phone" or a "new I pod" for Christmas.  But all these poor boys want is some food and a good home.
