UGANDA RISING’ FUNDRAISERS IN SUPPORT OF GULUWALK


GuluWalk has teamed up Uganda Rising, a Canadian produced, directed and written documentary, and will be hosting screening fundraiser events and panel discussions with internationally renowned speakers across North America.

Uganda Rising: An evening in support of GuluWalk, will take place from Winnipeg to Washington, D.C. and will be hosted in select cities by some of the most notable experts on the conflict in northern Uganda including:

• Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, Former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister and current President & Vice-Chancellor, University of Winnipeg
• Betty Bigombe, Ugandan Peace Negotiator
• Allan Rock, Former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations

The events are geared towards raising awareness, educating a North American audience on the conflict in northern Uganda and promoting action in the form of GuluWalk.
