Today, Brian and Bono travel another 620 miles from Bamako, Mali, to Accra -- the capital of the West African nation of Ghana -- home to beautiful beaches and a vibrant city center. But like many cities in West Africa, it struggles with extreme poverty. Consider this: New York state, home to 18 million people, has a budget of more than $100 billion. Ghana, where 20 million people live, has a budget of just $1.6 billion. But there is progress being made, which Brian will report tonight from Accra.
Here's a photo taken by producer Subrata De during their travels through Mali on Monday. For all the latest stories, blog posts and videos from the trip, click here.
