GuluWalk is back in Providence, Rhode Island for 2007! Last year, Providence participants not only provided a voice for peace in northern Uganda, their fundraising results helped towards the raising of over $500,000 for children's programs on the ground in the war-torn region. GuluWalk Providence is looking to provide even bigger and better support in 2007. Join in the push for peace!
