Story
“SJB walks across Britain” is the centrepiece fundraising initiative for SJ Berwin’s charity of the year, Rwanda Restored. Held between 11 and 21 June 2009 - the year of the 15th Anniversary of the end of the Rwandan genocide - the trek will span the width of Britain, covering the 180 miles from Avonmouth to London.
The 180-mile walk is symbolic of the regular displacement that Rwandans have had to suffer over the years, fleeing their communities on foot as a result of regular massacres culminating in the genocide of 1994. Some of these very communities are at the heart of Rwanda Restored's efforts to unleash the country's latent potential.
This page is for Section 7 of the walk: London Eye to Greenwich - Saturday 20 June 2009 (8 miles).
