Sir Bob Geldof and Bill Clinton have launched an education project for Africa to the tune of $9.4 MILLION dollars!

The aim of the project is to provide more access to schools for 1.2 million children in Malawi and Rwanda.

The money will go towards the building of four new training centres and 4,000 teachers to help give African kids a better start in life.

Clinton says, "We are trying to make a hole in the huge need Rwanda and Malawi have for primary teachers."

Geldof adds, "It's what Live 8 was all about."

Sounds like a very worthy cause!

Goodfellas George Clooney and Brad Pitt have teamed up together with Asian officials to spread the word of charity for ongoing aid efforts in Myanmar, Burma after last month's disaster, via an Indonesian newspaper. They're hoping to get neighboring countries to allow aid to the region.

The pair has already donated $500,000 to U.S. pressure group Not On Our Watch, a charity for the same cause.
