'Lost Boy' of Sudan Brings Fresh Drinking Water to Thousands

Thirty-four-year-old Salva Dut lives in New York. He was one of Sudan's "Lost Boys" -- one of the many thousands of children orphaned during the country's 20 year civil war. For more than a decade, Dut wandered homeless with no news of his family. He wound up in Ethiopia, then Kenya, where he lived in a United Nations refugee camp for nearly six years before coming to the United States in 1996. As Paige Kollock reports, Salva Dut is now helping villagers in his homeland gain access to clean drinking water.
