Bono accepts a traditional gift during a visit to the cotton-growing town of Dafara, 60km (40 miles) from Mali’s capital Bamako, May 22, 2006. Mali is one of Africa’s five big cotton producers next to Chad, Benin, Burkina Faso and Senegal that are demanding the U.S. dramatically cuts the subsidies it pays its farmers.

One must feed the mind and body. The decided absence of suitable textbooks and reading material in underdeveloped countries, such as Afghanistan, will only serve to leave the door open for extremist groups, who rob the population of any chance of intellectual survival. Drop books not bombs!

Murraythank you for these photos. bono on the NBC today show this morning says he sees the american dream in these people . . . . no one else has ever seen it from that perspective, and i believe he’s right! and that the corrupt africa is the old africa, they are not being supported or their debts forgiven. i love the encouragement of a new africa. we and they can do it together.
this morning i heard a a phrase that i’ve embraced concerning this work here. we see lots of love and hate in the replies. there is a thin line between love and hate - what is worse is the indifference. we need to do what we can to turn around, as bono calls it, the supertanker of indifference. i will do all i can.
stay close,
