Gulu Walk

Our youth group is amazing. They have taken it upon themselves to learn about the Gulu children of Uganda. These kids are forced to walk 30 miles a day to safe houses so they will not be abducted and forced into the “Army of God” which is anything but! It is a crazed warlord who is hell bent on power. Our youth group has raised $1500 and gone on a 30km walk to raise awareness. Two girls in grade 8 also just had their birthday party, and they asked their guests to bring a donation for Gulu instead presents for them. Now they are embarking on a monumental adventure. They are trying to gather 30,000 shoes to represent the Ugandan kids that make this walk every day. Their plan is to take them to the skydome and spell out Gulu Walk and take an aerial photo to raise publicity. That may sound like a huge number of shoes… but it’s only 1500 pairs! A little light humour for a very fantastic goal!
