GULUWALK 2008 - New York City 10.25.08

On Oct 25, 2008, over 300 people in New York gathered in Washington Square Park to begin their walk for GULUWALK to raise awareness for the children of Northern Uganda.

But people beyond New York were doing the same thing: this year, over 15,000 worldwide raised their voices and, donning bright shirts, caps and faces, marched in more than 75 cities around the globe.

By the Numbers

As the tallies come in, it is evident GuluWalkers put forth a worthy effort this year: 15,000 of you walked, in more than 75 cities, and, so far, around $200,000 has been collected. Way to go!

Update on northern Uganda

While LRA leader Joseph Kony has, once again, failed to turn up to sign a peace agreement this past Saturday, Canadian peace advocate John Siebert argued last week that the Juba peace talks have not been in vain. "Even without Kony signing, the Juba peace talks have led directly to a large improvement in the lives of two million Ugandans in the north," he writes in The Record. "The Acholi are rebuilding their lives and getting on with the adjustments required in post-conflict circumstances."
