EMAIL DETAILS

I think Ideally Paul is the primary since he can likely be sitting down in his hotel room with no distractions and he is very familiar with the proposal.

I will be remote and in an airport ( assuming we are on time) and can be on mute and chime in if I think my southern charm is needed --- I have read the proposal and am familiar with the project but you never know when a screeching airport cart is going to cause a little noise pollution--

Robert I think you should dial in as well. Because sometimes Paul has problems when he's on major time changes and might be dialed in already.

Thanks for teaming up.

Subject: CARE discussion

Greg, Robert, and Paul - Let me know which one of you guys is going to be
on the call and which one is the backup. I’m sure I’ll have a call-in
number here soon. I would imagine that we’d start off with an
introduction of ourselves, and naturally, since we’re in attendance, let’s
start with Hunter introducing RSP, then whoever from Markham is on the
call, will introduce Markham. Attached are just some thoughts and some
questions that they wanted us to answer. I incorporated most of Neaville’s
thoughts too I think. Also, here is some info on CARE to browse, but the
most important things to know is that they’re in 87 countries, so it’s more
than just Africa, and that they seem to focus on women:


CARE tackles underlying causes of poverty so that people can become
self-sufficient. Recognizing that women and children suffer
disproportionately from poverty, CARE places special emphasis on working
with women to create permanent social change. Women are at the heart of
CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the
spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand
economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers
emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people
rebuild their lives.

*Agriculture and Natural
Resources<http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/agriculture/>
*
CARE helps families produce more food and increase their income while
managing their natural resources and preserving the environment for future
generations. CARE works with farmers to increase their crop and livestock
yields through activities such as planting new seed varieties, animal
husbandry, home gardening and irrigation.

*Cross-Cutting Initiatives
<http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/initiatives/index.asp>*CARE's
cross-cutting initiatives span across the breadth of our program sectors to
tackle the underlying causes of poverty, and place special emphasis on
working with women and girls to create lasting social change. For example,
the Sport for Social Change Initiative, uses the convening power of sports
as a vehicle to minimize the effects of poverty on youth while working to
advance gender equality, develop life skills, promote health education,
provide psychosocial support and create income-generating activities.

*Economic Development <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/sead/>*
CARE's economic development programs assist impoverished families by
supporting moneymaking activities, especially those operated by women. CARE
initiates community savings-and-loan programs and provides technical
training to help people begin or expand small businesses that will increase
family income.*

Education <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/education/>*
CARE is dedicated to securing basic education for all. Experience shows
that learning attacks poverty at its roots. Educated people can make
thoughtful and informed decisions that will positively affect their lives,
their families, their communities and their world. Mothers are more likely
to have healthier children and higher incomes. Today we work alongside
communities, governments and partner organizations at many levels to
address all aspects of basic education. Our inclusive approaches include
training teachers and other school personnel to improve the quality of
education; linking education programs to interventions in health, nutrition
and livelihoods to better address reasons why children are out of school;
involving communities in assessing and overcoming their unique barriers to
learning; and conducting broad campaigns that promote the right to
education for all people.

*Emergency Relief <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/relief/>*
The fight against poverty is never more difficult than in times of crisis.
Our projects directly assist survivors of natural disasters and conflict
through both immediate relief and longer-term community rehabilitation,
including food, temporary shelter, clean water, sanitation services,
medical care, family planning and reproductive health services, and seeds
and tools. CARE also is increasingly focused on post-conflict
rehabilitation programming in places such as Angola, Bosnia and El
Salvador. Our *Special
Reports*<http://www.care.org/newsroom/specialreports/>give detailed
information about CARE's emergency work around the world,
including India, Afghanistan and El Salvador.

*Health <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/health/>*
A family cannot be economically healthy if it is not physically healthy.
CARE's health projects focus on mothers and children, who often are the
most vulnerable to disease and malnutrition. We are particularly interested
in increasing the capacity of our local partners to deliver quality health
services. This includes training local health volunteers as counselors,
mentors and monitors of community health. CARE is focused on interventions
ranging from nutrition and education to birth spacing and clinical
services. Our reproductive health projects encompass family planning,
prenatal care, labor and delivery services, and the prevention, detection
and treatment of STDs, including HIV/AIDS.

*HIV/AIDS <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/aids>*
We believe that our HIV/AIDS programs must provide information and services
to vulnerable groups while addressing the underlying factors that lead
people to make choices that put them at risk of infection. CARE's HIV/AIDS
programs link with our other sectors, including health, education and
economic development. Through our HIV/AIDS programs, we help communities
care for children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS; develop peer
education and outreach in communities; and increase access to services such
as condoms, voluntary counseling and testing, anti-retroviral treatment,
and STI prevention and treatment. Advocacy on behalf of vulnerable and
marginalized populations is also an important part of our work.

*Nutrition <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/nutrition/>*
CARE places a special focus on infant and young child feeding and related
maternal nutrition practices and care. Proper nutrition is vital to a
child's healthy development and an adult's ability to work and care for her
family. We protect, promote and support optimal growth and development for
children under the age of five to ensure their best chance for survival.
Our projects focus on teaching techniques and practices that help prevent
malnutrition, including proper breastfeeding techniques, educating families
and communities about how to cultivate and prepare nutritious complementary
food and strengthening local health systems.

*Water <http://www.care.org/careswork/whatwedo/health/water.asp>*
CARE helps communities build and maintain clean water systems and latrines.
Both directly and through local organizations, CARE provides training and
subsidizes construction, but communities make significant contributions in
cash and labor, and pay the cost of operation and maintenance. The goal of
these projects is to reduce the health risks of water-related diseases and
to increase the earning potential of households by saving time otherwise
spent gathering water. Projects also include educating people about good
hygiene habits to reduce the risk of illnesses.

Where is CARE USA located?
We are headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia; CARE has field
offices<http://www.care.org/about/contact_regional.asp>in 9 U.S.
cities. CARE also has offices in each of the countries
where we work. <http://www.care.org/about/contact_co.asp>

Where does CARE work?
CARE worked in 87 countries in fiscal year 2010, implementing long-term
programs to fight poverty, responding to humanitarian emergencies, and
advocating for policy change to improve the lives of the poorest people.

Who supports CARE?
Hundreds of thousands of individuals and dozens of U.S. corporations,
foundations and other organizations support CARE each year. We also obtain
funding and commodities from governmental agencies, the European Union and
the United Nations. CARE USA's program expenses in 2006 totaled more than
$589 million.

Where do my donations go?
The majority of our donors want their gift to be used wherever the need is
greatest. This allows CARE the flexibility to use resources as efficiently
as possible. CARE's financial records
<http://www.care.org/about/990.asp>are available to the public.
Ninety-one percent of our expended resources
support program activities. Nine percent of expended resources go toward
administrative and fundraising expenditures. We conform to the highest
accounting and financial standards.

Is my donation restricted to one country?
Donations to CARE go to support our poverty-fighting programs in poor
countries worldwide. This gives us the flexibility to channel funds to
wherever the needs are greatest.

Why doesn't CARE provide assistance within the United States?
While CARE is concerned with poverty and injustice everywhere, our mission
is to serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the
world. Since our inception in 1945, CARE has been a trusted vehicle for
Americans to share their compassion and generosity with those who have no
safety net.

CARE is committed to doing more than meeting immediate needs. We strive to
address the structural barriers to overcoming poverty, such as patterns of
discrimination and exclusion; corrupt or incompetent public institutions;
lack of access to essential public services; conflict and social disorder;
and major public health threats. While these can certainly be found to
varying degrees in any wealthy nation, the scale doesn't compare to poor
nations. Therefore, CARE believes we have the greatest potential for impact
in developing countries.

Are you a religious-based organization? What is your stand on abortion?
CARE is a nonsectarian organization, meaning we are not affiliated with any
particular religion or belief system. CARE does not fund, support or
perform abortions, though we do assist women suffering complications of
unsafe abortions.
