A whole crew of American leaders and ONE staff took off for Rwanda last night on a trip to see American aid money at work. The visit is led by ONE Vote ‘08 Co-Chairs and former Republican and Democratic Senate Leaders Bill Frist and Tom Daschle. Among the many others on the trip: Mike Huckabee, John Podesta, John Kasich, Susan McCue, and Cindy McCain.
Yesterday, our CEO David Lane recorded a quick video before catching his flight. Check out the clip below and head back to the ONE Blog this weekend and through Tuesday for more updates from the trip. (Cross your fingers with us that their internet connections works out and we get posts from them each day.)
