“The phenomenon of the "night commuters" in northern Uganda is so surreal that it almost defies description,” explained Lewis. “It has been one of the world’s worst crises facing children, and every effort to bring attention to the impact this war is having on children is commendable. The GuluWalk is an imaginative project that will bring a ray of hope to the future of the children, and the communities of northern Uganda.”
As a politician, diplomat and international envoy for humanitarian efforts, Stephen Lewis has dedicated himself to improving the lives of others. As Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations from 1984-88 he chaired the committee that drafted the five-year UN Programme on African Economic Recovery, and from 1995-99 he was Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF at the organization’s global headquarters in New York.
Lewis has served as the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa since 2001 and in July of this year, he began a one-year term as McMaster University’s first social sciences scholar-in-residence, where he will serve as an instructor and researcher linked with the Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition.
Stephen Lewis is now one of the 10,000 people who will be the message of hope this year for the children of northern Uganda; and the concept is simple:
Get 10,000 people to each raise $100 and walk on Saturday, October 21, GuluWalk Day.
The math is pretty simple, too: 10,000 people x $100 = $1,000,000.
That’s $1 million to provide education, rehabilitation and youth support programs for the children of war-torn northern Uganda.
Join Stephen Lewis, Sarah McLachlan, Steve Nash, Lt-Gen Romeo Dallaire and GuluWalkers worldwide on Saturday, October 21, and be part of this unique awareness event and innovative online fundraising initiative for a generation of children who are being left behind.
