Perth Guluwalk 23rd September 2007

GuluWalk is an annual international event which aims to raise awareness of the plight of abducted and abandoned children in northern Uganda who are often forced into becoming child soldiers. There is a wealth of information about Guluwalk on their website here.


GuluWalk started with just two people in July of 2005 and has now grown into a worldwide movement for peace. The movement was inspired by 'night commuter' children in Uganda who flee from their rural homes to sleep in towns such as Gulu each night in order to be safe from the threat of being abducted and forced into becoming child soldiers.



It was awesome for a London lad like myself to see so many people turn out, decked in a sea of Orange clothing to march in solidarity for the 7km route (which was symbolic of the distance the Ugandan children have to walk every day in order to have a safe nights sleep)

The four legged walkers got doused in orange for the occasion too...

Even the traffic lights turned orange for the day...

Some walked...others rolled...

Rocking the streets of Highgate...











Approaching the city skyline...




Turning heads in Northbridge...













Thanks again to all who organised the day...
