The "Under the Tree" doctor.
Dr.Arik was born in Lou Ariik Village in South Sudan. He was fortunate to obtain an early education under a Tamarind tree which propelled him to fight all challenges and become a medical doctor. It is with this humility and gratitude that he founded Akougook Initiative to inspire change in his troubled home community in Lou-Ariik.
