What
GuluWalk is a walk for the children of Northern Uganda who are being abducted by the Lord's Resistence Army and brainwashed into child soldiers. In attempts to avoid the LRA, thousands of children commute at night to the town of Gulu to sleep in safety. This war has been going on for 23 years now and the UN has named it the largest humanitarian crisis in history. This year, all the money raised is going towards building a youth and cultural centre in the town of Gulu, as a long term development project aiming at building peace in Northern Uganda.
