With over 56, 000 members across US, Canada, Europe and Australia, our walk began on May 26, 2009. We were inspired by the mounting reports on the ethnicity based massacre of Tamils in the Tamileelam region of Sri Lanka.

Just as we were planning on this mission more than 30,000 innocent Tamils were being massacred (in May 2009 alone). Children are abducted every night. Young women are made victims to the ongoing campaign of rape, which is being utilized as a weapon of genocide against the Tamils. According to reports, majority of the girls being raped are between the ages of 13- 15 years of age. People are starved to death.
