Gabriel Akol, UD custodian, is one of four heroes in the recently published comic book Echoes of the Lost Boys of Sudan.
Akol along with Satino Athian, Matthew Mabek, and Michael Ngor, are four of the thousands of lost boys of Sudan.
The lost boys are those boys who were separated from their families mostly between the ages of 8 and 10 as they fled the war in Sudan, Mkrumah Mullah, social worker for Refugee Empowerment Services (RES), said. RES is a program of Catholic Charities of Dallas.
The first comic book chronicles the stories of Akol, Athian, Mabek, and Ngor as they were separated from their parents and relatives. The next book is scheduled for release early next year, James Disco, publisher, said.
Dr. Susan Wykel, director of GSM's Intensive English Program, edited the book.
