A Guluwalk Update for You, Toronto - A Challenge to Others to Match

TORONTO STUDENTS TO WALK THE WALK FOR THE

CHILDREN OF NORTHERN UGANDA, TAKE PART IN

CREATIVE SOLES ART EXHIBIT

On Tuesday, February 28 the grade eight students of Toronto's Annette Street Public School will walk 10km from their west-end school to Metro Hall to raise awareness and show support for the night commuters of northern Uganda, who continue to be pawns in a civil war that has raged for nearly 20 years.
This student-driven event was initiated when Annette St. P.S. was asked to contribute to a student art exhibit at Metro Hall themed Creative Soles. The schools art teacher, Lisa Klug, had participated in Global GuluWalk Day in October of 2005 and shared the story of the night commuters with her classes.
Klug insists that she only shared the story; it was her students who came up with the idea to support GuluWalk with their art and their feet.
These kids are real local heroes, said Klug. The empathy and compassion our students have shown for children thousands of miles away is incredible. It was their idea to walk 10km in nasty February weather to tell this story. They are truly leading by example.
Everyone is welcome to join the 10km walk, which will also include GuluWalk co-founder Adrian Bradbury.
