In this lesson, we summarize the tale of the connection from Sudan, between Salva and Nya, a long walk to the water. Salva's story began with an eleven-year-old boy who walked to the refugee camp through the desert when his village was destroyed in war. After gaining the opportunity to go to the United States, he finally found a team dug in Sudan inspired by his father's illness caused by dirty water. Nya's life will expand mainly to go to the pond and draw water until the monkey foundation digs a well in her town.

In the long walking path of Linda Sue Park, Salva and Nya are seeking more than just water, but they are parallel story. Their stories are far apart in time, the story of Salva began in 1985 and the story of Near began in Sudan. The struggle they were faced at the time was still an active issue, which made the story more relevant to the reader. Salva spent most of his childhood without his family pointing out his right direction. He spent hours in his day, from young children to young adults, and walked over and over again. His childhood was full of fear, loss, hunger, thirst, and hope. However, he used his leadership to keep his compatriot from other riots. Linda Sue Park also shared the story of a girl named Nya, spending eight hours a year, spending seven months a year and gathering water until receiving a special gift for the family.

A long walk to the water is a book for young people, but it throws some doubt about the essence of existence. One time, Salva saved the life of a man who died of dehydration by witnessing the sacrifice of a part of the water supply to the adult he was traveling - the behavior that seriously compromised their own lives. Salva wants to know if he will do what they do and endanger his life to help others. Interestingly, Salva never answered his own question, which shows that many of the ethical problems he encountered in Sudan were too difficult for any simple answer. Nonetheless, "traveling in the water" indicates that wealthy and fortunate people have an obligation to help unhappy people survive. For example, Salva was adopted as an American couple, after growing up in New York, founded a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide clean water to poor Sudan's village.
