Mrs. Bush's Visit to Africa
Jenna Bush listens to children with HIV/AIDS at PASADA in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Wednesday, July 13, 2005. “PASADA trains caregivers to provide home-based care for people living with AIDS.

These children need help with all the challenges that come with growing up - and with the responsibilities that an adult would usually handle,” said Mrs. Bush in her comments.
