CARE's Notes from the Field

Stoic

by Rick Perera, CARE's Emergency Media Officer in Haiti

Friday, February 5, 2010

This will be my last blog entry from Haiti – but certainly not the last about Haiti, a country that has worked its way into my heart. I leave tomorrow on a special charter flight for aid workers.

Breathing easy

by Rick Perera, CARE Emergency Media Officer in Haiti

February 1, 2010

We're all starting to feel a little safer, and more relaxed – though that's a relative term, of course. We've noticed that there have not been aftershocks in a week or so. The mass distribution of rice that got underway yesterday has gone smoothly so far – a huge relief since many survivors have had nothing to eat since the quake. Of course it will take a long time to reach everyone in need, but the system is working well so far.

Heartbreaking visit

by Rick Perera, CARE Emergency Media Officer in Haiti

Saturday, January 30, 2010

I've just returned from one of the most heartbreaking visits of my two weeks here: to meet the family of Dr. Franck Geneus, CARE's gentle, dedicated health program director. Their homes destroyed, his extended family of 30 is packed into Franck's brother's tiny house and yard -- from the littlest niece, five-month-old Joelle, to grandmother Inosie, who says she's 94.

I am curious if this project would be possible but with the girls being able to still stay at home with their families but still have access to education? I wonder if there are other options to creating access to education while preserving the homel…

Profile Information

A bit about myself:
CARE is a leading humanitarian organization dedicated to fighting poverty and social injustice. We place special emphasis on investing in women and girls because our six decades of experience show that their empowerment benefits whole communities.

In 66 countries, CARE projects advance education, improve health, increase economic opportunity, and meet emergency needs during and after disasters. Underpinning all our work is a commitment to using evidence-based policy advocacy to address underlying causes of poverty, such as poor governance, gender inequity, and economic and social exclusion.

By work side by side with communities to create lasting solutions that respect local culture and knowledge, CARE will make substantial, measurable contributions to the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people living on less than $1 a day by 2015.
I believe in...?
Our mission is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world. Drawing strength from our global diversity, resources and experience, we promote innovative solutions and are advocates for global responsibility. We facilitate lasting change by:
• Strengthening capacity for self-help
• Providing economic opportunity
• Delivering relief in emergencies
• Influencing policy decisions at all levels
• Addressing discrimination in all its forms
Guided by the aspirations of local communities, we pursue our mission with both excellence and compassion because the people whom we serve deserve nothing less.
I am really good at...?
Providing long-term and sustainable solutions to poverty.

Groundbreaking Legislation Passes U.S. House

We're pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that includes groundbreaking provisions to reduce child marriage worldwide, and creates an office for global women's issues. These are two major steps forward in prioritizing the empowerment of women and girls in U.S. foreign policy!

Will you ask your senators to ensure equally bold measures in their version of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act?
