MAN ON A MISSION
 As you probably already know, Bono is a man of deep convictions for all things humanitarian and just in this world. This gallery documents his travels to Africa in May 2002 with US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill as he lobbies for AIDS funding and free trade for Africa.

In the last ten days while we've been on
this trip, in Sub Saharan Africa:

55,000 people have died from AIDS

$400 million have been spent by Africans on debt payments - much of this to the IMF and WB.

14,000 mothers have given HIV to their children, in childbirth.

Can you believe that? I can't believe that.
It's insanity.
~Bono, Closing Ceremony of the African Development Bank meetings May 29th 2002
