Cindy McCain, wife of US Senator John McCainThe Hotline (US)
Cindy McCain plans to spend several days next week in rice paddy studded with land mines. Tens of thousands of Cambodians -- most of them children -- have been maimed by unexploded land mines since the active phase of the country's civil war ended in 1979.
McCain sits on the board of the HALO Trust, which describes itself as a charity dedicated to the removal of the "debris of war." They've organized the trip to a small village near Cambodia's border of Thailand. This is McCain's third trip to the countr. McCain leaves tomorrow, and was not available for an interview, according to aide. She did provide this statement:
“As a HALO board member, it has been my honor to work with groups that assist children and provide humanitarian assistance to impoverished countries. On my trip to Cambodia, I will be able observe firsthand how the debris of war, particularly land mines are removed. I look forward to continuing to work with organizations that better the quality of life for children and families across the globe.”
In 2000, Cindy McCain was a constant and visible presence on the campaign trail, although she flew to Arizona regularly to care for her and John McCain's four children. A free-flowing presence, she lightened up her husband and often bested him in the telling of ribald jokes. She's recovered fully from a stroke in 2004 and plans to campaign with McCain this cycle.
McCain sits on the board of several other charities, including Operation Smile and CARE. It was in Bangladesh for Operation Smile that McCain encountered the orphan she and John would later adopt, Bridgette.
