Cindy McCain In Vietnam, Thailand For Operation Smile, Myanmar Relief Efforts

"Cindy McCain visits Vietnam" from AP reports that Cindy McCain, wife of GOP presumptive nominee Senator John McCain, is visiting Vietnam to support her charity work, Operation Smile, that helps children with facial deformities. 

She is also going to visit Thailand to get a briefing from the World Food Program about the situation in Myanmar since the cyclone's devastation.

She visited the coastal town of Nha Trang where about 100 children born with cleft palates and cleft lips were awaiting free plastic surgery provided by the U.S. charity Operation Smile. The operations will take place on one of the U.S. Navy's floating hospitals, the USNS Mercy.

"This is what I do, and this is what revitalizes me, personally," she said. "The campaign is extremely important, of course, but this is also important to me, and so you try to balance everything."
