Mrs Hillary Rodham Clinton will appear at a benefit in Washington this evening with two Belfast children who were photographed with the Clintons during the President's visit to Northern Ireland last year.

The event has been organised by Project Children, a US charity which organises US trips for children from Northern Ireland. The children, Catherine Hamill and David Sterrit, have travelled to Washington to attend the $125 a head event hosted by the Peace Corps director, Mr Mark Gearan.
