Having spent almost his childhood time in cattles’ camps, he started his primary school in September 1994 at Bar-Aguoc Primary school. He did primary two in 1996 at Amer Primary School and primary three at Bar-Aliap in 1997. After the devastating famine of 1998, he did not attend school. He moved to Rumbek town where he did primary five, six, and half of seven from 1999 to early 2001 when he went to Uganda. He finished senior four and obtained Uganda Certificate of Education in 2006 after three years without schooling due to the lack of school’s fees. In February 2007, he was granted an Australian humanitarian visa and settled in Australia that year. He worked and went back to marry in 2008, and in July 2009, he joined Griffith University where he graduated with bachelor of arts degree with double major in international relations and politics and government in July 2012. He got an offer from the University of Queensland where he graduated with master’s degree in governance, public policy, and development in July 2014. He is currently pursuing Master of International Law at the Australian National University.view less
