If you read what I read you would know that all Live Aid/Band Aid Trust Funds are spent on Africa, nothing else. there was a "row" about it at one time but Geldof got very very smart, now he is workinbg one thrid world debt relief as a LASTING change as well as building wells, etc. It's a long story - Bono "fell into it" at the Band Aid recoring and then Live Aid and then Amnesty International and started studying like Geldof did, which is how Live 8 came about and why Geldof and Bono made such a huge effect on world Leaders at G8 and continue to do so, while the Band Aid Trust carries on . . . more at the web sites including DATA, One, LiveAid/Live 8, . . . . http://www.data.org/ Debt relief http://www.one.org/ AIDS relief http://www.liveaiddvd.net/ donate to Band Aid Trust, also info on LiveAId/Live8 funds, read this; "The Band Aid Charitable Trust was established to help relieve hunger and poverty in Ethiopia and the surrounding countries.

You've seen the pictures, maybe the concerts, and will certainly know all about this year's event, LIVE 8. Twenty years ago it was the famine in Ethiopia and Sudan - now it is the continued grinding, unrelenting global poverty that has moved us to bring the issue firmly into the spotlight of the G8 leaders. "This time we don't want your cash - we want YOU. "Often people ask what has happened to the funds raised through Band Aid and Live Aid - what difference has it made and who has benefited from it - here is some information to help answer those questions...." (CAUTION the LiveAid DVD link in an Acrobat file has been hijack by hacker) One thing one U2.com (among many) this year: (members only see this) "21.04.2006 "'Africa, Africa, Africa...' "Nearly a hundred U2 photos are up for auction this week. Proceeds will help build and maintain wells to provide clean drinking water in Africa. Start bidding here.

"'More than half of Africa's villages lack access to a clean water supply. In many of these villages, women must walk up to ten miles every day to retrieve the day's supply of potable water for their households.' "The U2 photo auction is the initiative of the African Well Fund's annual 'Bono Birthday' campaign and prints include shots from several U2 tours including Zoo TV and Vertigo 05. "Check out the photos and bid in the auction here "More on the African Well Fund here "And while you're in an auction frame of mind, there's still time to bid on tickets for US shows which are raising funds for Music Rising, the charity set up by Edge to replace instruments musicians lost after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
