Uniting as ONE
By Allie Vanhyfte
In December of 2007, U2 showed up on stage during their world tour in Honolulu singing the words “And I can’t be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.”The group chose the song “One” because of a certain meaning it entailed. Behind the words is a message to the world about Hunger, Poverty, and AIDS awareness. Bono started his journey of informing the world of these issues by establishing a Hunger Task Force with the UN. From there he worked with DATA (Debt AIDS Trade Africa), ((RED)), and the World Food Program to form ONE.
This is a program specifically designed to raise public awareness of global poverty, hunger, and disease. In the last five years the price in food staples raised 83% and under-nutrition contributes to almost half of all child deaths. According to ONE.org having more food will not solve the problems with hunger or poverty; instead they suggest better agricultural technology to boost long term product
ivity.
The goal of ONE is to make poverty history and Bono was the one to say that if we all gave one percent of our income, poverty would be history.
