WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES (Your old men will walk 25 K and sleep outside GULU Style)

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Friday 9:00 p.m. headed off on "Gulu Walk www.guluwalk.com 12. 5 kilo. downtown (2.5 hours), then slept (???) on the grass at City Hall for 5 hours and made the return trip. Ten hours, five hours walking, five hours attempted sleep.

These guys are doing it for a month - creating awareness, raising funds, lobbying through a petition - well-connected - one aspect is creating an athelete's lobby for social justice comparable to what Bono is doing. I connected with a lot of neat people on the way down, and then John and I were the sole accompanists on the way back.

My feet were sore, I'm still tired - young kids do that all the time in Uganda do avoid capture as child soldiers, or sex-workers.

We gave out pamplets on the cafes along Bloor and Yonge - about 75 of us. William Booth said "do something" - somtimes you just got to do something.....
