The journey
Adam, Abdul Musa2020
Book
At the age of 7, Abdul was rounding up animals with his 3-year-old brother, Yusuf, when their village in Darfur was bombed. He lost his entire family. Abdul and Yusuf fled over the border to Chad, where they lived for two years in an inhospitable refugee camp. What followed was a remarkable journey across the world's most brutal warzones, as Abdul suffered unimaginable violence and slept on the streets. Eventually, he stowed away in a lorry to the UK, where he was picked up by police and diagnosed with PTSD. Abdul was helped by Greatwood, a charity that uses ex-racehorses to help disadvantaged children, which finally gave him a lifeline. This is the remarkable story of one boy's journey around the globe in a desperate search for a safe place to live.
