We will walk 18 to 20 kilometers a day and for about 500 days. The Walk of Hope is led by Sri M, the founder of Manav Ekta Mission. The purpose of the walk is non-political and is to spread Peace, Harmony and Human Oneness amongst the fellow-beings. Human to human and Human to the Nature. Sri M says: Born Human. Be Human.
