Daniel Deng, like thousands of other children, walked hundreds of miles to escape Sudan's war zone, moving for months farther and farther from his home country.
"We had to walk the whole night ... we maybe rest for an hour," he told CNN of the journey about two decades ago.
The trek, which robbed him of his ability to walk, took him to Ethiopia, then to Kenya, then eventually far from the Africa continent to the United States. he carved out a comfortable life in Colorado working in the IT industry, far from the war-torn, dusty land of his childhood.
Now using a wheelchair, Deng has returned to help register voters in Southern Sudan ahead of two very important votes. The first, in April, is to elect Sudan's presidential, state and legislative leaders.
