Interviewing Monica Merlis from CARE
by Stella
We visited the CARE offices and learned more about what they do to help women in developing countries. Monica told us a little about the history of the organization. We learned a little about the CARE packages they gave to survivors in WWII. Then we went on to discuss the work they do with women and education. CARE works a little differently than the Women’s Education Projects because they work on so many other issues like poverty, gender based violence, and so much more.
