PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Former President Bill Clinton says Haiti's long road to recovery is just beginning more than three weeks after January's devastating earthquake.

Clinton is returning to the island nation with a planeload of supplies as the United Nations' special envoy, CNN reported Friday.

The former president indicated he had several items on his agenda for the trip.

"I will return to Port-au-Prince for the second time since the disaster to unload supplies and talk to Haitian officials to ensure assistance continues to be effective, coordinated and sustained in the weeks and months to come," Clinton said.

President Obama asked Clinton and former President George W. Bush to raise money for Haiti's relief efforts.

They formed the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund with the goal of assisting the people of Haiti.
