DAKAR, Senegal -- First Lady Laura Bush is in Africa. Her four-nation tour is expected to focus on how the U.S. can help fight AIDS on a continent where many countries struggle to even provide basic health care.

Bush is scheduled to visit areas that have benefited from U.S. AIDS funding: the west African nations of Senegal and Mali, along with Mozambique and Zambia in southern Africa. She's accompanied by her daughter Jenna.

The first lady and her daughter were greeted on the tarmac in Senegal's seaside capital late Monday by a group of about 30 dignitaries, including Senegal's first lady and her daughter. The two first ladies shook hands and posed for photographs, but neither spoke to reporters.

Many small children die each day and adults succumb to avoidable illness in the far corners of Africa where First Lady Laura Bush will spend this week promoting an unprecedented U.S. campaign against AIDS and malaria and offering the promise of education.

Yet for a president dealing with war and terrorism, the African agenda represents perhaps the greatest single initiative that he can claim as a legacy-staking achievement.
