Gabriel was 10-years-old when North Sudanese Arab militiamen led a violent attack on his village in South Sudan.
In 2001 he came to the U.S. with other Sudanese refugees (The Lost Boys) and subsequently earned associate and bachelor’s degrees from Onondaga Community College and Lemoyne College, respectively. In 2007,Gabriel returned to South Sudan after 20 years to search for his family, a journey documented in the film 'Rebuilding Hope’. Upon his return, he founded Helping Offer Primary Education (HOPE) for Sudan with a mission to provide educational opportunities and health services to Sudanese people adversely affected by political turmoil in Sudan.
