On The Other Side Yei is a powerful memoir that tells the extraordinary story of Yei Theodora Ozaki, a young woman who escaped the horrors of the Sudanese civil war and found refuge in the United States. This is a story of hope and resilience, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul.
Yei was born in a small village in southern Sudan in 1985. Her childhood was filled with love and laughter, but it was also marked by the ever-present threat of violence. In 1991, the Sudanese civil war broke out, and Yei's village was caught in the crossfire. Her family was forced to flee their home, and they spent the next several years living in refugee camps.
In 2001, Yei was finally given the opportunity to come to the United States. She was just sixteen years old, and she was alone. She didn't speak English, and she had no family or friends in this new country. But Yei was determined to make a better life for herself, and she was willing to work hard to achieve her goals.
Yei enrolled in school, and she quickly learned English. She also got a job, and she began to save money for college. In 2007, Yei graduated from high school, and she enrolled in the University of Minnesota. She majored in social work, and she graduated in 2011.
Since graduating from college, Yei has worked as a social worker, and she has helped countless other refugees who have come to the United States. She is also a passionate advocate for peace in Sudan. In 2013, she founded the Yei Theodora Ozaki Foundation, which provides scholarships to Sudanese students who are pursuing higher education.
Yei Theodora Ozaki is an inspiration to us all. Her story is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. She is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and she is a role model for all of us who are working to make the world a better place.
