Sarah Onyango "Obama" endorses the World March
Sarah Onyango, the grandmother of the President of the United States, has recently endorsed the World March for Peace and Nonviolence which is due to start on 2nd October 2009 in Wellington, New Zealand and will end in Argentina on 2nd January 2010. It is a walk that would go across six continents including Africa.
Sarah welcomed the idea behind the March and prevailed upon others to support the initiative. She shares the ideas of her grandson who has initiated a path of dialogue and nuclear disarmament.
“The World March should involve the young, the old and even the orphans and should be a turning point to developing everyone,” she said. She wishes everyone to “come together and take responsibility for transforming the world into a world without wars and a world with abundant openings of reconciliation and prosperity”.
