She's a class act, that gal...  In her low key manner, Laura Bush has been actively supporting Afghan women for over 10 years now.  The project continued without pause even after her husband left office.  Like her husband's African HIV project and Wounded Warrior support, Laura's Afghan women's project gets high marks for effectiveness – in marked contrast to so many other American U.N. humanitarian aid projects.  And just like her husband, it's clear that she does this not for personal recognition (which neither gets much of), but to simply do good in the world by leveraging her name and contacts.  The Wall Street Journal has a video interview with her (unembeddable) about her current efforts, and there's a lot up on YouTube (like the piece at right).
