President Bill Clinton today sent the following message to William Loiry: We're only two months into 2010, but what a year it's been so far. I'm feeling great, and happy to be back at work, dividing my time between our Foundation's ongoing projects and relief efforts in Haiti.
This month, our Alliance for a Healthier Generation celebrated the progress we're making in fighting childhood obesity, and in the month ahead, we'll be gearing up for the third meeting of CGI U in Miami in April. Even students who can't make the meeting can apply to receive grants for innovative projects.
Thanks again for all your continued support.

Latest Message From President Clinton on Haiti Relief & Reconstruction
President Bill Clinton, UN Special Envoy to Haiti, sent the following message to William Loiry: Flying into Port-au-Prince for the second time since the earthquake -- I was pleased to see continued signs of an expanding relief effort.
Today, I'll help my team deliver the emergency supplies we brought with us on our plane.
Donation by donation, it's the generosity of people like you that is keeping this relief effort going. And your continued dedication is what will make sure the Haitian people have the tools and supplies they need to rebuild.
As you read this, work is underway to deliver meals, set up temporary shelters, and restore access to health services for earthquake survivors. I'm proud that today we were able to deliver laptops, generators, plastic sheeting, protein bars, and 1,900 lbs of medical supplies.
And it's not going to stop there.
Long after the television crews have gone and emergency response teams have returned to their home countries, I can promise you the Clinton Foundation will remain committed to Haiti's long-term rebuilding and recovery.
We will work with reputable organizations, the Haitian government, and most importantly the people of Haiti to ensure that they are empowered to create more opportunities for jobs, education, and health care than existed the day before this tragedy occurred.
There is a Haitian proverb, "Men anpil chay pa lou," which translates as "Many hands lighten the load."
It's going to take a lot of help and a long time, but I know that together you and I can lighten the load that the Haitian people have carried on their own for far too long.
I'll continue to be in touch as our work continues here in Port-au-Prince and beyond.
