Bob Geldof was born in 1953 in Dublin ,where he went to school .Though he

of jobs in England, Spain and Canada before eventually becoming a successful
pop star
However, he is now best known foctbework he has_done to help starving
people in Ethiopia. Like many other people he was shocked by TV programmes of
people dying of hunger there in 1994. He therefore decided that he would persuade
famous British pop singers to make a record together, and use the profits from it to
send money and food. The record, called "Do they know it's Chrismast ?" was a
great success and made a lot of money, all of which was used in Ethiopia.
It soon became clear that much more money was still needed, and also in
1985 Geldo! organised two huge concerts on the same day, one in England and
the other in US. Many of the world's best known pop stars played and sang, all of
them perf9rming without being paid .The concerts were shown on TV throughout
the world, and it has been estimated thatnearly a billion people saw some or all of
the broadcas~.While they were watching the live perfomance on TV, people were
( asked to send money and many did so. In Britain alone, over forty million pounds
, was given .
