Mandela AIDS concert in the Beijing News

Yesterday's Beijing News featured a two page spread about the 46664 concert in Cape Town to raise money for Nelson Mandela Foundation and other organizations involved in AIDS and HIV related work. 46664 was Mandela's prisoner number on Robben Island. With the support of many international musicians, the number is now being used to brand an ongoing campaign to raise money for AIDS issues.

Here's a page from the Beijing Daily.

Veering slightly off topic, here's a photo of Nelson Mandela with Bono, Edge, Beyonce, Ms Dynamite, Annie Lennox, Zucchero, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Angeliqeu Kidjo, Danny K, Craig Hinds, Dave Stewart, Peter Gabriel and Jimmy Cliff.

The image is by Evan Milton, whom you can sometimes find here.
The number 46664 is being promoted on cellular networks worldwide: people can phone at premium rates, with proceeds going to the 46664 campaign. Have a look at 46664's campaign site for more information.

UPDATE: If you want to call from China, the number is 0088213881762, and the instructions are to do the following: SMS: 2580 (send Donate). A little difficult to figure out.
