Ted Talks: Bono-Action for Africa

http://www.ted.com/talks/bono_s_call_to_action_for_africa.html


The talk I decided to review this week was by Bono, it was about the current problems in Africa. Even though this talk was given in October 2006 the problems he was trying to alert people about have not yet being completely erased. I found the talk to be very intresting as it touched a topic that I have ahuge intersest in "Action for Africa". This is also a topic that my school has ahuge interest in there is a fourth year trip to Uganda each year to visit orphaneges and school. St Andrews fundraise each year for the trip, with funds being used for the develpoment of facilities in the areas where the students visit.

Bono won the Ted Talks prize for his talk in 2006, part of the prize was for Ted Talks to help him with three wishes.
       -Wish One- Was for Ted talks to help give every school, hospital and library in Ethiopia with internet.
       -Wish Two- Was for one million American activits to push politions into pumping resources into africa with the help of the one foundation.
       -Wish Three- A profile for one billion Africans on the Internet.
