Guluwalk Day 2007

Last year, over 30,000 people in 15 countries around the world walked in solidarity with the children of northern Uganda. The 2006 event was focused on telling the story of these courageous children and creating a mass movement for peace. The event grew into a global fundraising event that collected almost $600,000 for education, rehabilitation and youth support projects in northern Uganda.

Last year was only the beginning.

GuluWalk 2007 is set for Saturday, October 20, and will take place in over 100 cities around the world. GuluWalk is not just an innovative fundraising event. It is a global awareness event and a strong voice for locally led peace.

With increased security and peace talks that are making progress, there is real reason for optimism in northern Uganda,” explained GuluWalk founder Adrian Bradbury. “That being said, this is no time to relax. Now, more than ever, our voices need to be heard and our attention must not waver from the impact this conflict continues to have on a generation of children who have never known peace.”
