By Erin, ONE Staff

Over the coming 10 days, Bono will be traveling to Africa with DATA (debt AIDS trade Africa) and ONE.ORG. The trip is an opportunity to shed light on the crisis of global AIDS
and extreme poverty that disproportionately affects many African
nations. The trip will include stops in six countries: Mali, Rwanda,
Tanzania, Nigeria, Lesotho and Ghana. Keep checking the ONE blog for
information on Bono and his trip to Africa. We will be providing
exciting updates as well as important actions you can take here in the
U.S. that will make a difference in the lives of people in Africa and
the world’s poorest countries.
