Former president Bill Clinton announced his support for the Sean Penn's Haiti relief charity.
The Clinton Foundation has donated $500,000 to Sean Penn’s charity, J/P Haitian Relief Organization. Former president Bill Clinton announced his support for the film star’s relief charity.
The money provided by the Clinton Foundation will provide for bridge funding for a camp in Petionville. The former president said their donation will also help to provide health care, education and job training for tens of thousands of people displaced by the earthquake in January.
Clinton said, “Rebuilding housing for more than 1 million people displaced by the earthquake will take time, as teams on the ground continue to clear rubble and build infrastructure, including water and sanitation systems...In the interim, our commitment to the Petionville camp, managed by J/P HRO, will ensure the 55,000 people living there, including many children, can access health care, education, and job training services until families are able to move into more permanent homes."
Speaking to People magazine Sean Penn said, “The support of President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation is an extraordinary boost in our organization's ability to continue its work in Haiti...From the beginning the Clinton Foundation staff and leadership have generously shared expertise and essential logistical support."

DS and malaria go hand in handPublished on December 11, 2006 at 6:48 PM
They have found that when people suffering from AIDS contract malaria the HIV virus becomes 10 times more prevalent in their blood making them far more likely to infect a sexual partner.
The researchers say their findings demonstrate how other factors are able to influence the spread of HIV as people weakened by HIV are more susceptible to malaria.
The research was carried out in Kisumu, in Kenya and the scientists estimate that tens of thousands of HIV infections and millions of malaria cases could be linked to this co-infection.
The authors of the study say the biological co-factor induced by malaria has contributed considerably to the spread of HIV and fueled a rise in adult malaria infection rates.
The scientists estimate that tens of thousands of HIV infections can be blamed on this co-infection.
They also say genital herpes and tuberculosis are also suspected of increasing the likelihood of infection.
The study is published in the journal Science.

Researchers believe they may well be a link between two of the biggest killers in Africa, malaria and AIDS.
The researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington, suggest the two diseases interact in such a way that they spread faster.They have found that when people suffering from AIDS contract malaria the HIV virus becomes 10 times more prevalent in their blood making them far more likely to infect a sexual partner.
The researchers say their findings demonstrate how other factors are able to influence the spread of HIV as people weakened by HIV are more susceptible to malaria.
