GULU WALK!

Bicycles Against Poverty will be sponsoring the annual Gulu Walk on October 25th at 1pm starting at the KLARC U

The Gulu Walk raises awareness about the hundreds of thousands of night-commuting children in Northern Uganda who walked from their rural villages into the town of Gulu and other urban centers to sleep in relative safety and avoid abduction by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) for use in the country’s 22-year war.

Starting at 1pm in the KLARC U, we will have performances by A Capella groups: Bison Chips, Beyond Unison and Voices of Praise gospel choir, along with complimentary light refreshments before the walk begins around 1:30pm. There will also be a slideshow of pictures of our trip this past summer and a showing of our documentary following the walk.

You can sign up in the LC mall the week of October 19th-23rd. You can also check out our Gulu Walk t-shirts!
