Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will visit Haiti together on Monday, March 22, 2010.  It will be their first joint visit to the area.  They will be traveling with several of the board members of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which to date has raised over $31 million from over 200,000 contributions for relief and recovery efforts.

The Chicago Tribune's Washington Bureau reported on this yesterday.  The Clinton Foundation announced, "Presidents Clinton and Bush will meet with Haitians, the Government of Haiti, and others providing assistance to earthquake survivors, with the goal of further establishing long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts."

I am very glad to work with the talented team at the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, and I am honored to serve on the board of that organization - one that can provide so much help and healing to a country that is still suffering daily from the deadly January earthquake.
