BONO, A SINGER, AN ACTIVIST, A LEADER

Do You like U2? If so, It's probably recognize Bono and his unmistakable sunglasses.  He is the lead singer and songwriter of U2, but there are other interesting facets in his life. 

Bono's birth name is Paul Hewson.  He lives in Dublin Ireland. Bono is his nickname and comes from his high school days.  His wife is Alison Stewart.  They have four children:  two girls,  Jordan and Memphis Eve,  and two boys.  Elijah and John Abraham.  He likes painting,  history and chess.  He is one of the best singers ever but he is also a screenwriter,  an orator and an activist.  

Bono is not only interested in music.  He also participates in social causes.  He cares about the poor,  so he has an anti-poverty organization in the U.S.  called ONE.  He also helps children with AIDS especially in Africa,  so he has another organization called DATA(Debt,  AIDS,  Trade Africa).  It focuses on poor countries'  debt cancelation,  AIDS treatment and development assistance.  

Bono has a complicated schedule,  but he always has time to help people around the world. So,  he continues recruiting new activists for his crusade against poverty and AIDs.
