UNICEF: Jenna Bush celebrates "Ana's Story" at UNICEF House

NEW YORK, USA, 1 October 2007 -- Jenna Bush, who interned with UNICEF in Latin America from September 2006 through May 2007, has drawn from that experience to write 'Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope' -- a personal account of a girl who struggles to break free from a vicious cycle of abuse, poverty and illness.

'Ana's Story' is about a 17-year-old single mother who Ms. Bush met at a UNICEF-supported community organization during her internship. Ana (not her real name) was born with HIV, and her mother died when she was only three. Her HIV status is a matter of shame for her family, and she has suffered abuse because of it.

I love it when rich people try to look kind-hearted. Like they would ever let any of these smelly, fly-infested kids stay at thier mansion. Would they give up thier lifstyle? hell no, they just want cameras on them, even if it means they gotta give canned food to starving kids

She wants to remain anonymous.

She should work with the State Department, she seems born for it.

I dont care what peeps say. I love bush and I love Jena.

I am not sure with my data, but hasn't the US been stingy with its committed contributions to the UN lately? Jenna should campaign for the US to sign many of the UN treaties, then I would see her UNICEF work in a more positive light. IMHO (in my humble opinion)
