I was stunned and confused. NINE MILLION kids didn\u2019t have parents because of AIDS? I wanted to learn more about it \u2013 and see what I could possibly do to help. I started to volunteer, all online, with the Jubilee 2000 Drop the Debt Campaign and then DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa). In 2004, I received an email regarding a new organization that Bono was creating with other activists. My response: \u201cHeck yeah!
