Meet The Woman Who Inspired Bono

Many fans who attended the U2  Conference last October had the wonderful opportunity to hear Agnes Nyamayarwo, Ugandan nurse and activist,  speak about her life.  She was  introduced by Bono via a taped message. The lucky fans who attended the concert in Raleigh that weekend even heard Bono give a shout out to Agnes directly during an emotional performance of  “One.”

For those fans not able to attend the conference,  I have posted a recent article on Agnes’ life  and her connection to Bono.  I hope you enjoy reading about the woman who inspired him to start the ONE organization.
