	Description:		Much of Akuja De Garang's childhood was spent fleeing fighting in what was the southern part of Sudan and she ended up in the UK as a refugee. She decided to return to her place of birth and has recently became the first person from South Sudan to be given a prestigious MBE award from Queen Elizabeth. It recognises the cultural and humanitarian contribution she's made to her country. Image: Akuja De Garang with her MBE medal Credit: WPA Pool/Pool
