Geldof to Launch HIV Charity in Ireland

Geldof will also be in attendance at the Inaugural Chello Foundation Ball at the Mansion House later that evening where the sold out black tie event will be attended by over 400 people including the charity's founding member, Shane O’ Neill.

The Chello Foundation is a charity which focuses specifically on advancing the education of orphans and children affected by HIV and AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. Established in London in 2007, the foundation's Inaugural Chello Ball in Dublin marks its official engagement in Ireland and will extend to the US later this year.

The twice nominated Nobel Peace Prize musician and political activist is well known for his anti-poverty efforts concerning Africa.
