Well -- since you want to compare Note the last paragraph. And I
believe Mrs Bush is a LOT wealthier, and somewhat older than Mr Clinton


Facts about the Clinton Foundation

“Since leaving office in January 2001, the former president has sought
to use his clout, connections and charisma to be a catalyst in building
and supporting nonprofit institutions that tackle some of the world’s
most daunting problems and encourage everyday citizens, especially young
people, to serve their communities.”

-- The Chronicle of Philanthropy

* The William J. Clinton Foundation is a charitable organization
established by President Clinton to construct the Clinton President
Center and to pursue four missions:

Health Security
Economic Empowerment
Leadership Development and Citizen Service
Racial, Ethnic and Religious Reconciliation

* The Clinton Foundation has promoted economic empowerment
primarily through the Clinton Foundation Small Business Initiative,
which brings business and consulting experts together with small
business owners to help them succeed. More than 44,000 volunteer hours
(valued at over $8 million) were spent during the pilot program in
Harlem. In 2004, the program was expanded to Brooklyn and the Bronx.

* The Clinton Foundation has also helped empower poor people by
partnering with organizations like the Robin Hood Foundation to educate
people about the Earned Income Tax Credit; Save the Music to promote
music education in public schools; Operation Hope to encourage financial
literacy among young people; Ember Media to creative interactive guides
to college and financial aid for Hispanic and African American students;
the Princeton Review to help underserved students improve their scores
on standardized tests; and Hernando de Soto’s Foundation for Building
the Capital of the Poor in Ghana.

* President Clinton encourages reconciliation of people along
racial, religious and ethnic lines, saying that we need to build a
global community of “shared responsibilities, shared benefits and shared
values.”

* The president helped launch the William J. Clinton International
Peace Centre in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, which functions as a
venue for peace and public service programs.

* President Clinton serves as honorary co-chair of the Club of
Madrid, which is comprised of former heads of state that promote
democratization; and he chairs the board of the Global Fairness
Initiative, which seeks a more equitable and sustainable approach to
globalization.

* Citizen service was a hallmark of the Clinton Administration, and
remains an important part of the Clinton Foundation’s work. The Clinton
Foundation has worked closely with City Year, a global service
organization. Together, they have supported the Clinton Democracy
Fellowship program, which brings young people from South Africa to
America each year to study national service.

* The Clinton School of Public Service at the University of
Arkansas, located on the grounds of the Clinton Presidential Center in
Little Rock, is the first graduate school in the nation wholly dedicated
to public service education. President Clinton will play a key role in
helping attract lecturers and scholars in residence for the new school.


“Former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s foundation, which launched its
HIV/AIDS Initiative little more than 18 months ago, has quickly become a
major force in fighting the pandemic.”

-- The Wall Street Journal

* The Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) helped reduce
the price of medicine and tests for people with AIDS in the developing
world by 50 to 70 percent, making it possible to bring life-sustaining
assistance to many more people at much reduced costs. CHAI has partnered
with a number of countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and the former
Soviet Union to help them scale up care and treatment programs for
people with AIDS, and is working with the World Health Organization, the
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, UNAIDS, the UN
World Food Programme and a number of care partners to ensure that more
of the millions of people with AIDS who need medicine and other forms of
care and treatment can receive it.

* President Clinton has also helped other charitable organizations
raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their work. Recently,
Presidents Clinton and Bush joined together to raise money for the
tsunami relief effort. The Clinton Foundation is also a partner with
UNICEF to raise funds for the tsunami relief. Other partnerships
include: the Families of Freedom scholarship fund. He and Bob Dole
teamed up to help raise more than $100 million to provide educational
assistance to the families of the victims of September 11. The president
also encouraged the establishment of the American India Foundation,
which is dedicated to accelerating social and economic change in India,
and has provided substantial relief to communities devastated by an
earthquake in Gujarat

Extract (Note British spelling -- the American press declined to report
this)

New York - Former US president Bill Clinton announced on Monday a plan
to provide treatment for more than 60 000 Aids-infected children in
China and nine other countries, expanding a programme already underway
in Thailand and Brazil.

The William J Clinton Foundation will donate $10m to provide
AIDS-suppressing paediatric drugs to infected children in Asia, the
Caribbean and Africa.


Interestingly, the Bush Family is very wealthy, yet I am unaware of any
substantial charitable activities and donations of that family.
