Bono Raises Awareness for African Crises
OMAHA, Neb. - Bono isn't the kind of celebrity who packs up and leaves town as soon as the concert is over. The U2 lead singer spent an extra day in Omaha after his band's sold-out concert on Thursday to continue his campaign to raise awareness of the crises in Africa.
On Friday, Bono met with members of DATA — Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa — the group he co-founded in 2002.
Omahan Susan A. Buffett, daughter of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, is one of the board members. The Buffetts and Bono have become close in recent years as they've worked for similar causes.
Bono, Susan Buffett and her brother, Howard Buffett, were among 16 people who met Friday at the Joslyn Art Museum.
During Thursday's concert, Bono solicited support from the crowd for the ONE Campaign to combat global AIDS and poverty.
