My wife found this on the BBC website about an hour ago. Good on him. People like him are much needed in places like South Sudan. It's a pity that there aren't more like him there and in other war torn countries.

That's the most inspiring story I've seen for a long time. I wonder what can be done to help him to to get a scholarship to study aeronautical engineering abroad, and thus to develop his talent and enthusiasm in a developed country, so that he can, one day, return to South Sudan and pass on his knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire a whole new generation?
The UK's Aid budget is unfortunately under the control of a bunch of dodgy dealers and civil servants, all incapable of recognising a real opportunity to make a difference instead of enriching corrupt dictators, and themselves.
Is there any other established means of funding his development? From outside the UK, maybe?
