"Eight years was awesome, and I was famous and I was powerful."

President George W. Bush and Laura Bush are spending this week in Africa to launch a partnership to detect and fight cervical cancer.

The Bushes and their team started in Kabwe, Zambia, where they led a team of volunteers as they finished renovating the Ngungu Health Clinic. After the Bushes cut the ribbon on Tuesday, the clinic immediately began screening women for cervical cancer and treating them.
