PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush spent the weekend at the White House where they hosted GWB's parents. The family attended St. John's Episcopal Church this morning before the President went for a mountain bike ride.
Throughout his term, President Bush has sought to break down barriers that have prevented religion-based charities from using government funds. His $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.
Award recipients include a Christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known Catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist Billy Graham, according to the State Department.
Secular organizations in Africa are raising concerns that new money to groups without AIDS experience may dilute the impact of Bush's historic three-year-old program.
"We clearly recognize that it is very important to work with faith-based organizations," said Dan Mullins, deputy regional director for southern and western Africa for CARE, one of the best-known humanitarian organizations.

What's your "beeper" got to do with anything? ;)
i notce Barbara has been quite active in the traveling and photo-ops, but Jenna has been conspicuously absent. I guess it's not Jenna's bag to do that kind of thing, or maybe it doesn't fit in her schedule.

Jenna teaches at a school in DC. She probably can't get away as often as Barbara.

I think one of the best photos of Jenna was before she started teaching when she accompanied her mother on a trip and they visited an AID's centre.
