Armed with the slogan "Peace and Equity to Fight Child Hunger", Walk the World is a global event hosted by Fight Hunger to raise awareness about child hunger. Every year, it culminates in a walk through Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo.
Kandyan dancers add colour to the 5km walk and are joined by locals, visitors and children from around Sri Lanka. Aside from the public walk from Royal College to the Ladies College, activities include an arts competition, an exhibition for young people and a cultural show.
Activities in Sri Lanka are led by the World Food Programme country office in partnership with the Sri Lanka United Nations Friendship Organisation (SUNFO). Fight Hunger, organisers of Walk the World, run several campaigns that are united in their objective of ending child hunger by 2015.
In 2007, more than 550,000 people in 300 locations worldwide participated in the campaign. Please visit the Fight Hunger website for full details.
