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”.
