WASHINGTON -- Olivia Nantongo, 20, wept Monday as she told Vice President Gore, Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other assembled dignitaries what it was like to watch helplessly as her mother died of AIDS complications.

On her first trip abroad, Nantongo is a long way from her home in Kamala, Uganda. Steve Sternberg USA Today July 20, 1999
