I really love the title of your post, Lesley ("Hamming It Up for Peace in Tanzania"), because that is exactly what Bono was doing when he sat inside the insectide-treated bednet to make the point of the extreme need for a SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in safe, affordable bednets for all those who are not able to afford to buy one for their families. I really loved this part:"Seeing a photo opportunity, Bono jumped onto a bed covered by a bed net and joked: You heard of John and Yokos bed-in for peace? This is called ham for peace." Just beautiful. THANK YOU, BONO. One more comment. As much as the attention of the world and most of the reports from Bono's trip are focusing on Bono because of his high profile celebrity status, I urge everyone coming to this blog to make sure to also read lesley's posts with Bobby Shriver(RED) and Richard Feachem (Global Fund). I bet Bono would tell us that these people are amongst the REAL rock stars of the movement to end extreme poverty in our world! Take good care, everyONE. Blessings always.
