Bill Clinton To Continue Fundraising For Haiti

A day after undergoing heart surgery, former US president Bill Clinton reassured supporters he will continue his work as a fundraising coordinator for earthquake-struck Haiti.

In my capacity as UN Special Envoy for Haiti, I will continue to work with the Haitian government and people, international donors and multilateral organizations, Clinton said in a statement.The statement came just hours after he was released from hospital in New York following successful surgery to clear up a clogged artery. Clinton is a special UN envoy to Haiti and also works with fellow former US president George W. Bush in coordinating fundraising. Exactly a month after the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people and left some 1.2 million homeless, Clinton said there had been a generous outpouring of support from donors all over the world.He said the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and his own Clinton Foundation Haiti Relief Fund had secured “impressive” donations.
