 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - U.S. first lady Laura Bush came to Haiti on Thursday to promote increased funding for AIDS patients and support education in the impoverished nation.
Bush met with three young HIV-positive adults during her morning visit to GHESKIO, an AIDS clinic in a rundown section of Port-au-Prince, where she called on American legislators to increase funding to the U.S. Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
One of the patients, 20-year-old Mariana Pierre, read a poem for Bush.
