Ana Eulate Illustrated by Nívola Uyá
“We’re all destined to use our talent to change people’s lives.”
Little Simon picked up the drawing he had just finished. He looked at it with a gleaming smile. The day before, the man who had arrived like an angel, with good news, drawing books and colored pencils, had brought a group of children together around the fire. The moon lit up the night, as well as the hope in the hearts of the children who listened spellbound to the tale of the man “with helping hands.” It was a story that was incredible, but quite real: a story which as they listened made them cry tears of joy, and clap their hands in excitement.
It was the story of a little boy just like Simon, who had been born in a village just like his, called Kimotong, in the south of Sudan. For the first six years of his life he lived with his family, helping his father, Awey Lomong, with the cattle, and his mother, Rita Namana, with her daily chores, and running everywhere on his gazelle-like legs. That was why he was known as “Lopepe” which in the Buya language means fast.
