Bush and Clinton to visit Haiti for fund-raising effort


Former US Presidents George W Bush and Bill Clinton are due to visit Haiti as part of their fund-raising efforts to aid the earthquake-stricken nation.
The two were asked by President Barack Obama to lead US fund-raising after the 12 January earthquake that killed at least 220,000 people.
In their first joint visit to Haiti, the two will meet President Rene Preval and visit camps for the homeless.
About 1.3 million earthquake survivors are homeless and living in tent cities.
