Bono Interviewed For Mexican Teleton

Every year on the first weekend of december, a Teleton takes place in Mexico to raise money to build rehab centers for handicaped children.

Just a couple of hours ago Bono was interviewed for the Teleton by phone.

He mentioned he loves Mexico, that Teleton is a very important day for our country, and he said that he admires the work of mexicans in this kind of matters.

He said in spanish a few lines of a Jorge Luis Borges poem.

” La vida está hecha de momentos, vive el ahora. Si pudiera volver a vivir empezaría a caminar descalzo en primavera y así terminaría en el otoño”.

(Life is made of moments, live the now. If I could live again, I would start barefoot in spring and I would finish autum that way.)

Bad quality clip of the phone call, sadly it cuts at the half of the poem.

Also he donated some money for the cause, the amount is kept in secret..

That must have been a nice surprise for you guys in Mexico. It's good that Bono gives his support to a noble cause like this.

And that poem is really beautiful
