Bono’s message: $1 a day can save a life

IT costs just a dollar a day to save a life.

U2 frontman Bono used this simple message yesterday to urge editors of the world's newspapers to back his appeal to help AIDS victims in Africa.

Each day in Africa, 7,000 people die from the treatable disease, he told those attending the 56th World Newspaper Congress at Dublin's RDS.
