Bono a Contender for the Nobel Prize

Singer of the group U2, Bono, is one of 166 people being considered for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Even though the final list is not yet known, the Irish singer and activist has made the list of candidates to be interviewed by the Nobel Institute.

For many years, the singer has been fighting for the rich countries of the world to delete the debts of the poorer countries, specifically Africa.  Bono also tried to make medications for AIDS could be given to that continent.

Next December 10, in Oslo, the prestigious award will be announced.  Last year, the prize went to Kenyane Wangari Maathai, the first African woman and first ecology activist to receive the award.
