By Allison Dunne

Hyde Park, NY – A woman who received an FDR medal for her work as a children's rights advocate visited the FDR Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York. The former schoolteacher has saved the lives of more than ten-thousand children who were orphaned by an African nation's civil war, and the plight of AIDs. WAMC's Hudson Valley Bureau Chief Allison Dunne caught up with the recipient of the Freedom from Want medal.
