The Gulu walk is a community event to show how children in Uganda moved en mass to another country at night to avoid being conscripted into a children's army. A former teacher at this Gwangju Foreign school organized the first walk in this country several years ago, and he has left quite a legacy. I'm sure this event could expand if consistant effort is put into it every year.
There is a video on youtube called comastate showing what the students did at the end of their first gulu walk.
The walk is becoming an International event, and has spread from Canada where the idea originated.
I'm sure a lot of good causes could get marches and community support if a few individuals were willing to do a little ground work the way the individuals did for the Gulu Walk.
All it needs now is a catchy song to go with it.
