BE MOVED BY speakers with names like Tutu and Gandhi, enjoy diverse cuisines, and participate in a service project hosted by Unity Walk‘s Interfaith Youth Action Group (IYAG).
Desmond Tutu, on the Unity Walk: “It touches me greatly that so many people of all faiths put aside their differences and walk hand in hand. I encourage these Unity Walks, not only in Washington, D.C. but around the U.S. and the world. Your actions speak volumes and I pray for your every success.” See him speak about the 2008 walk:
