A press release issued today by the Clinton Foundation Press Office announced that Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will travel to Haiti on March 22. Here is the full release:

On Monday, March 22, President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush will travel to Haiti on behalf of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (CBHF).

Presidents Clinton and Bush will meet with Haitians, the Government of Haiti, and others providing assistance to earthquake survivors, with the goal of further establishing long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts.

In the aftermath of the January earthquake, President Barack Obama asked President Clinton and President Bush to raise funds for high-impact relief and recovery efforts to help those who are most in need of assistance. In response, the two Presidents established the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to respond to unmet needs in the country, foster economic opportunity, improve the quality of life over the long term for those affected, and assist the people of Haiti as they rebuild their lives and “build back better.”

Information about the trip will be forthcoming. The Presidents will be accompanied by members of the CBHF board of directors.
