Gabriel Mangar: Canada

Gabriel Mangar Dept: Gabriel Mangar himself one of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan who were displaced during that country's civil war came to Canada as a refugee nearly a decade ago. Gabriel Mangar has been trying to get Monica, 12, and Joseph, 16, to Canada since he discovered in 2007 that they were still alive after fleeing Sudan, according to CBC. Mangar has been paying for the care of 12-year-old Monica and her 16-year-old brother Joseph ever since, sending money for their food, shelter and school and an Ottawa man who has been struggling for years to bring his niece and nephew from Uganda to Canada says he won't give up, despite a serious setback. His sister and two of her children died fleeing the conflict in what was then Southern Sudan, but in 2007 he discovered her two remaining children had turned up in a refugee camp in Uganda.
