Benson Deng, his brother Alephonsion Deng and Benjamin Ajak are the three young boys from Sudan who endured numerous hardships to escape the civil war, death, and killing in their country. Their memoir "They Poured Fire on Us From The Sky" became one of the most riveting and painful stories of their journey to find safety and also be reunited with each other.
After their safe arrival in the land of the free- America, they were kept under the custody of a mentor named Judy Bernstein, a staff of the International Rescue Committee. Her work includes providing safety, services, and help any refugees. She also became involved in the writing of the boys' memoir.
They meet first at Yier's house, before meeting anybody else on the list. Yeri is a SPLA commander, not general. Their parents aren't around and Judy Bernstein isn't mentioned until later in the story.
