"I want to introduce the people of the United States, through my trip, to the new face of Africa," President Clinton said.

In parts of Africa there is a new freedom to vote and a freedom from terrible hunger.

Mr. Clinton says America wants to see more freedom there and will do its part to help.

In the country of Ghana, the crowd was so eager to welcome him that the people pushed a little too hard at one point, enough to give the president a bad temper for a little while.

Most of his trip, though has been a lot happier.
