SUMMARY:Year of Global Africa:  Eye on Africa - Jacob Atem
DESCRIPTION:
 Jacob Atem is the co-founder and CEO of the Southern 
 Sudan Health Care Organization, a non-profit 
 that provides medical facilities, supplies 
 and healthcare-education to the people of 
 South Sudan. At the age of six, Jacob traveled 
 over 2,000 miles to escape a brutal civil 
 war in South Sudan that claimed his family. 
 For nearly a decade, he lived in an overcrowded 
 Kenyan refugee camp where hunger and disease 
 were daily struggles. Now recognized as a 
 Lost Boy of Sudan,  Atem obtained his Ph.D from 
 the University of Florida. Atem has dedicated 
 his life to healthcare education and medical 
 service. Adhering to SSHCO's mission, which 
 focuses on natives helping natives, Atem advocates 
 for displaced persons around the world. 
 Under his leadership, SSHCO aims to inspire 
 hope and improve the quality of life for the 
 lost.\n
