Why I Admire Cindy McCain

1. Mom of four
2. Special Education teacher
3. Founder of American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT)
4. Active in the HALO Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to landmine removal and weapons destruction in war-torn countries
5. Serves on the Board of Directors for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose mission is to repair cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities for children around the world
6. The kind of person who leaves the world better than she found it
7. Seriously, Cindy McCain could have led a country club life. She is wealthy and could have been content to be a Senator's wife. But she didn't. She's used her wealth and influence, her education and her own hands to minister to some of the poorest children in the world. She sees a world that needs her help and she steps up to make things happen. Not for headlines or hollywood approval, but for the children who have no hope.
