From Kidnapped Child to Olympic Flag Bearer | Short Stories of Hope
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In this month’s 7MS Presents: Stories of Hope, Aaron Calafato tells the true story of a six year old boy taken during a church gathering in a small village in southern Sudan.
Torn from his mother and thrown into the chaos of civil war, the boy would eventually escape and spend years growing up in a refugee camp far from home.
But through everything, he kept running.
Years later, that same boy would walk into the Olympic Stadium carrying the flag of the United States.
Sometimes hope is something we find.
Sometimes it is something we run toward.
