Bono´s and Adam´s Visit to Africa

Robert Karanja briefs Adam Clayton of U2 about USAID COMPETE's role in nurturing East African handicrafts firms like Undugu to make connections with international buyers.

 

 

Bono spent almost 10 days in Africa on a "listening and learning trip" with ONE members and other celebrities (like Jessica Alba, for example), but what we didnt know is that Adam had gone with him too. He was spotted here and there, and we can see him in this picture appreciating local handicrafts.

Bono had a tight agenda which included visit to African artists in Senegal, a school in Ghana where they learned about the 1GOAL program that ties football playing to academics and  the organisation United Against Malaria. He also visited Tema Hospital in Ghana to learn about local efforts to prevent and fight HIV/AIDS. 

In Mozambique, Bono met with Armando Guebuza, the president of the country. He had dinner at a local pub, where Bono joined a local singer named Xavier Machiana in singing 'With Or Without You.'
