 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - U.S. first lady Laura Bush toured Haiti's capital on Thursday to promote funding for AIDS patients and support education in the impoverished Caribbean country.
Bush spoke with three HIV-positive young adults during a morning visit to GHESKIO, a prominent AIDS clinic in the run-down center of Port-au-Prince. She called on Congress to keep the President Bush's international AIDS relief plan from expiring this year.
"It's a nice chance to be with you all today to see the results of what you all are dealt and how it's helping people," Bush told the clinic's director and staff during her one-day visit.
