NEW YORK (AP) -- Irish rock star Bono and Senator Bill Frist joined Rev. Franklin Graham in airlifting Christmas gifts to HIV-positive children in Africa.
The group, which also included Richard Holbrooke, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and chairman of the Global Business Coalition on HIV-AIDS, held a news conference Tuesday at Kennedy Airport, where an Antonov 225 cargo plane was loaded with 83,000 individual gifts packed in shoe boxes. The airlift is part of Operation Christmas Child, a relief effort headed by Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham.
The plane will take off Wednesday for Uganda and will also deliver gifts in Sudan, said Kristen Lee, a spokeswoman for Operation Christmas Child.
