Bono:...experiencing unusual feeling, I think it's called "Being Humbled".

Gerri Willis: Bono may have made more headlines for his work on aid to Africa than for his music in the past few years, and even in the face of personal recognition, the rock-star is staying on message.

Bono: This can be a generation that can end extreme poverty, and by that, we mean, kind of, you know, stupid, daft poverty where three thousand kids are dying everyday of, of a mosquito-bite in Africa, you know, malaria. We can fix stuff like that.

Gerri Willis: The Live 8 concerts organized by Bono and others this year went a long way toward that goal. Shortly after the concerts, G8 leaders committed to double aid to poor countries by 2010, adding about fifty billion dollars a year. Also honored by Time, Bill and Melinda Gates, cofounders of the world's wealthiest charitable foundation, with an endowment of more than 28 billion dollars, much of the foundation's work is dedicated to funding vaccines for underprivileged children.

Bill Gates: Well, it has been a great year for global health to get more visibility, and I think it is part of a upswelling of interest and see more equity, it's sort of the greatest inequity left, and the more people know about it, the more they wanna act.

Gerri Willis: Time magazine reports the Gateses spent the year giving more money away faster that anyone ever has. But like Bono, the couple wants to keep the focus on the prize.

Melinda Gates: I think the important thing is recognizing the issue over inequity across the globe.

Bono: Though we are coming from very different places. Um, we are in an agreement that this can be a generation that can, you know, eradicate extreme poverty, and that's not, you know, a kind of, you know, it's a wishful thinking, that's not sort of misty-eyed, rock-star nonsense, he's a hard headed business guy and science-based person. These are achievable goals, and I'm a, a mouthpiece, I'm a rock-star, I'm a very lucky, um, um, man, um, but it's, it's the tough stuff that will get this done.
