D o you like U2? If so, you’ll 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 Reading Strategy
time to help people around the world. So, he continues
recruiting new activists for his crusade against poverty 0RYH\RXU
