BACKGROUND

Gulusport4peace foundation is an initiative by Tayebwa Thompson-the owner of another website www.taythompson.page.tl.

The founder is an undergraduate student of Science Education (Sport Science) in his final year at Gulu University.

He  unanimously believes that the power of Sport can be used to forge peace between groups,communities and countries which have been involved in conflict.This is because of the good values sports inculcate in people.

At the moment,as partial fulfilment for the degree of Science Education (Sportscience)-Gulu University,Thompson is conducting a research on

"THE ROLE OF SPORTS IN PROMOTING PEACE AND RECONCILIATION:A CASE STUDY OF NORTHERN UGANDA (GULU) WAR RAVAGED AREAS"

Several avenues have been used to bring peace to Northern Uganda. Use of fire arms has failed to solve the problem.Dialogue through peacetalks is apromising venture but has been seen to drag its feet.

Gulusport4peace initiative therefore will help solve the problem since building is not only a responsibility of Kony,his generals and the government,but also a responsibility of me and you at
