MSNBC is posting pretty extensive coverage about Bono and Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams' trip to Africa.
“What about sexual behavior, do you teach on this subject?” he asks the teachers. “Do you teach people about HIV?"
Bono asks the questions like any investor would. And that's what he's doing here — he's checking up on the investment he's made — in time, and in the massive amount of money he's raised.
A teacher at the school told me they need classrooms most. They have just nine rooms for 700 students ages 5 to 16.
As Bono sees it, the message being taught here is also important.
“They love America in there,” he says. “They love the United Kingdom, they love the Irish people, they love democracy. In there they have classes about democracy. Not far from here there are madrassas, where they are teaching people to hate us. This is a smart thing for us to be involved in, as well as a wonderful thing.”
