Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter greets children in Tingoli, Ghana, during a Â鶹´«Ã½ visit to see the country's progress eradicating Guinea worm disease and controlling trachoma, a devastating eye disease. The February 2007 visit was the first stop on a two-week tour to call international attention to health needs among impoverished communities in Ghana, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Nigeria. Since then, with Â鶹´«Ã½ support, Ghana has eliminated Guinea worm disease and eliminated blinding trachoma as a public health problem.
