Bono Donating His Guitar

The Brazilian authorities have announced that the guitar will be auctioned to raise money for the Zero Hunger campaign.

According to Agencia Brasil, the guitar will be sold after the concert the group does in São Paulo. 

The Zero Hunger campaign’s goal is to provide three meals per day to each Brazilian, by December 31, 2006.

The celebrity singer and activist met the Brazilian President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, last week.  The two men discussed the effort the Brazilian government is making to reduce famine in their country, and to develop renewable energy sources.

Last year, rocker, Lenny Kravitz, also donated a guitar to the Zero Hunger campaign.  The money raised was       $132 000.
