Bono in Africa report

[Desire4Bono]

Thanks to Jessica Ann of PLEBA:

The first story and pic of the day!

U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill (L) speaks to reporters after visiting a data processing site in Ghana's capital with Irish rock singer Bono from U2, in Accra, May 21, 2002. The self-described ?odd couple? of international aid diplomacy, Bono and O?Neill, arrived in Ghana launched one of the most unlikely campaigns ever to highlight the need for effective spending on development. Over the next 10 days the two will to travel through four African countries -- Ghana, South Africa, Uganda and Ethiopia -- to draw attention to the acute needs of the poverty-stricken region, using one another?s position and celebrity to spark interest in a topic that each feels much of the world tries to ignore.

and after all, I'm only sleeping!"~
