Actually, I was part of the original group of U2 fans that were there at the beginning of the AWF in Oct. 2002. Since that time, I have watched with pride as this effort progressed into something truly beautiful and something truly effective for Africa's Future. Although my efforts stay mainly with ONE and now with the MPWN website, my excitement for the annual Bono's Birthday Well project grows each year. Let all of us make the commitment to do all that we can to make this fundraising drive in honor of the man who has done so much for Africa the biggest success yet! LIVING POSITIVELY, debbie :)
