Portrait of Alek Wek - There are nearly 214.000 refugees today in South Sudan -  the most vulnerable are children, especially girls. At the same time, these children are the real hope for the country to rebuild. A former girl refugee herself, super model Alek Wek takes us back to her country. Wek fled fighting in her native Sudan along with her family in 1991. Scouted at a market in London she soon became the first African to grace the cover of Elle magazine. Now she works for other refugee children to have the same opportunities she had. She went to visit her native village Wau and the camp where her family used to live. It stirred memories of the past, but her work keeps her hopeful for the future.
