Former Presidents Help Tsunami Survivors in Sri Lanka and Maldives
Former presidents Bill Clinton and George H W Bush met child survivors in a Sri Lankan shelter and mingled with tourists at a Maldives resort during a three day tour to urge private funding for Indian Ocean recovery.

Private U S donations total about 700 million with Congress asked for 950 million more amid Iraq costs.
