Happy Birthday President Roosevelt!

With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, age 42, became the youngest president in the nation’s history. He brought new excitement and power to the office, vigorously leading Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

U.S. agriculture fuels brighter futures in Bangladesh.

32,000 students in 149 public primary schools in Habiganj receive nutritious meals thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Fortified biscuits and buns made from U.S. wheat help students prepare to learn and succeed. Through the USDA McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, the United States is providing $27 million in support for nutrition, hygiene, health, and literacy for these Bangladeshi children.
