Cindy McCain's Emotional Drive to Fight Hunger

Cindy McCain, the executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, remembers her late husband John McCain as she fights global hunger. She hopes he would be proud of her new role and plans to spend a significant amount of time fundraising to boost the organization's budget. Despite past criticisms of Russia, she will work with the country as part of her nonpolitical role.
