Huckabee: “I came to love the presence of the ONE Campaign volunteers”

In between today’s 2 ONE panels at the RNCC, Gov. Huckabee spoke about his experience with ONE on the campaign trail and his time traveling on a bipartisan delegation to Rwanda with ONE earlier this summer.

(As I said previously, I didn’t have a tripod of any kind, so if shaky camera movement gives you a headache, you may just want to listen to the footage for now until we have the professional video done and up in the next few days.)

First, Gov. Huckabee talks about ONE:

Next, Gov. Huckabee introduces this clip, a video made especially for the RNCC about Senator Frist, Michael Gerson and Gov. Huckabee in Rwanda:

And then back to the governor:

    I thought that each panel guest shared with the audience excellent comments, insights and stories within their own areas of expertise and personal experiences – from HIV/AIDS to education and women’s empowerment, through government interaction, legislation, and corporate involvement.

    The panelists gave us direct examples of solutions that are working, and the compelling reasons why we need to continue to do more in giving a hand up so that governments and their citizens can stand on their own and succeed in a healthy and secure life.

    These two panel events brought together many voices with a broad range of experiences in working to eliminate extreme poverty and preventable diseases. Thanks ONE and all the speakers!
