(December 3, 2008) - CARE applauds the choices President-elect Barack Obama named this week to his cabinet's foreign policy team.
"We face extreme challenges around the world. Almost half the world's populations survive on two dollars a day or less. Maternal mortality, economic volatility and shrinking food and water resources require global attention and bold U.S. leadership. The president-elect's choices demonstrate a solid commitment to treating these crises as priorities," said Dr. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE. "Because we live in an increasingly interdependent world, addressing global challenges is an investment in our own shared future."
