International
On the ground in Italy!
We’ve arrived! A team of us from ONE are now in L’Aquila, Italy for this year’s G8 Summit.
The journalists, NGOs and others have all started arriving, with the 3 day summit officially starting tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning ONE are holding a joint press briefing with Oxfam, which will cover Africa, development and food security issues in relation to the G8.
We’ll be writing a bit more over the coming days so keep checking back!

I strongly suggest and invite you to contact Mr. Claudio Messora (www.byoblu.com), one of the most well-informed and honest italian blogger. He lives in Pescara and has followed the Aquila earthquake since it’s started. But most of all he is absolutely very well informed about Italian political situation and is able to give you topic news.
A great embrace to you all and to Geldof specially, I strongly follow and admire him since 1984 Band Aid project.
