He left his home town in 1988 to Ethiopia when he was six years old because of civil war. Majuch spent most of his childhood in refugee camps as a refuge. Majuch is one of the lost boys from South Sudan who came to United States of America on 2001 as a refuge from Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. He attended vocational school in Don Bosco Training Center in the Kakuma camp to become an electrician after he finished class 8 primary school. Majuch’s first job when he came to America was janitor at UVM. He went to high school full-time here in America and worked full-time. He graduated from Essex High School in 2005. Majuch went to Vermont Technical College as an apprentice student to become an electrician through a State of Vermont apprenticeship program. He was working for Omega Electric Company at the time; Omega was paying for his class fees while he was going to school. Majuch graduated from Vermont College on 2009 with an electrical certification. He then got his Vermont journeyman electrician license in 2012. Majuch is working on his master electrician license, and he is still working for Omega Electrical Company. Majuch is thinking of having an electrical company to his native country, South Sudan, in the near future if the situation is calmed down. That’s his dream: to help people back home by offering jobs and skills to feed their families. “I’m still alive today because I was helped by caring people, so I have to do the same thing as well to others who need help like I needed it,” Majuch said. Majuch has a lot on his mind. He worries much about the future of the orphans in South Sudan. He does not know what to do first.view less
