Why South Sudan Matters - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Honorable Garang Malong Awan is a lifelong resident of his beloved South Sudan. After a sporadic, sometimes inadequate early education, he graduated from the University of Nairobi in Kenya, Africa. His focus of degree study included Political Science, Sociology, Armed Conflict, and Peace Studies with a diploma in Criminology and Social Order, and a concurrent certificate in Public Relations. His natural leadership ability and his passion for improving the educational system in South Sudan led to his appointment and success as Minister of Education and Social Child Welfare. He states that, because of the hardships he endured as a child, “I had a chance to help others, as I knew what they were suffering from my own experience.” He now serves as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in Aweil East State, noted for its farming and cattle, which helps feed others in the region with milk and meat. About his book he says, “My life’s struggle has been put to rest with pen and paper, not with guns and bullets.”
