supported causes including the Pink Ball against cancer.
“This
shows that with the will and resources it can be defeated anywhere else. We
need to get involved beyond talk and beyond sympathy. As long as it
remains anywhere in Africa, we are all at risk, and we can come together
to stop this from happening. Join me, and join all of us now on
www.stopebola.com.”

the United Nations. “Just when the world has begun to pay attention to
Africa as a destination for rapid growth and investment, we cannot allow
Ebola define the narrative. We need to put a stop to this immediately,
and young people need to take the lead.”
