American Refugee Committee (ARC) - USA Website: http://www.archq.org Minneapolis, Minnesota – August 16, 2005 – Former U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and William Clinton named the American Refugee Committee’s (ARC) Fishing Boat Project as the first tsunami relief project to receive funding with private money raised through the Bush-Clinton Fund. The Presidents’ $1 million contribution will replace fishing boats in Thailand and provide equipment and support to fishermen, many of whom lost nearly everything in the tsunami. The former Presidents wanted to fund the project because of its economic impact and ability to spur job creation. [They haven't collaborated like this since Mena, Arkansas. Look for Thai sticks on the pot market.) |
