It´s his birthday today.Mr Paul David Hewson is 48!!! And as the good humanitarian he is ...he celebrates giving...The African Well Fund is accepting donations for its sixth annual Bono’s Birthday Well fundraiser through Saturday, May 10. Donations can be made at http://www.africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2008.html.

Donors may sign their names to an online birthday card that will be forwarded to Bono. Last year Bono sent a thank-you note to African Well Fund that can be viewed at the well homepage noted above.

The first Bono’s Birthday Well fundraiser was held in 2003 with the intent of collecting $1,000 to build one well in Bono’s honor. That year, the African Well Fund collected more than $10,000. The second year, $15,000 was raised. More than $26,000 was collected for Bono’s Birthday Well in 2005. Over $32,000 was collected in 2006. The 2007 fundraiser raised the largest amount to date, with more than $34,000 collected. Those funds are being used toward several projects at schools in Uganda.

Tax-deductible donations to the African Well Fund are used by the partner organization Africare to fund various water projects in Africa. To date, African Well Fund donations have given more than 100,000 people in 10 African nations improved access to water.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO!!! Hope your good wishes come true!!!
