On January 26, 2025, I (Nitin Sonawane) will begin a 205-day Gandhi Peace Walk, starting from the Gandhi Statue in San Francisco by walk

This journey will take me across the USA, passing through cities like:
- San Diego

Distance: More than 4,000 miles by walk (~9 million steps).

In Washington, D.C., I hope to meet the President of the United States of America to share a message of humanity that I have experienced across the world. After this, I will embark on my next walk in Russia.

Why This Walk Matters

In these challenging times, marked by global insecurity, I feel a deep calling to:

Walk through countries such as the USA, Russia, China, Iran, and Israel.
Carry a pure intention of peace.
Touch hearts of people and also those in positions of power.
Inspire a shift toward harmony and nonviolence.

- Invite them to join me, even for a few steps, in this movement for peace.
Inspire Youth:
- Visit schools, colleges, and universities to:

  - Spread the message of nonviolence.
Media Outreach:
