The original GuluWalk started with just two people in July of 2005 and has now grown into a worldwide movement for peace. GuluWalk was inspired by the gripping tale of the 'night commuters' of Northern Uganda and while the night commuting has stopped, the need to promote peace and step forward for these abandoned children has not.

GuluWalk - July 1 - 31, 2005
GuluWalk is the effort by two average Canadians to raise awareness and support for the 'night commuters' of rural northern Uganda: children who walk every night towards the safety of larger cities to avoid abduction by the rebel army. For 31 days in July, Adrian Bradbury and Kieran Hayward walked from the Toronto east end to the downtown to sleep outside. After an uncorfortable five hours sleep they returned home every morning at sunrise to retrace the 12.5 km walk. Adrian and Kieran completed this month-long journey and have continued to work at bringing a face to the night commuters of northern Uganda.
Photographer Jing-Ling Kao of Imajing Photography has had the priviledge of working with the GuluWalk team to document the event as it unfolded over its 31 days and beyond. For more information about the GuluWalk and to get involved, visit their website at www.guluwalk.com
Visit the CBC.ca to see a Flash presentation about the GuluWalk. It was created by Dwight Friesen and features some of the photographs taken by Jing-Ling.
