Bush In Haiti

President Bush arrived in Haiti this morning. During a visit with mango farmers, he said, “Our goal is to help this society go from one that is dependent on aid to one that can grow its way to prosperity.” A grant from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund will benefit an initial group of up to 5,000 mango farmers and their families. We hope this model will help transform the entire mango sector, increase exports and incomes, and ultimately benefit 25,000 mango farming families in Haiti. It is our hope that they can survive another hurricane season.
