Celebrating Mothers around the World

This Mother’s Day you can join me and everyone else at the ONE Campaign
in supporting mothers around the world. A mother, when given an
education and the resources she needs to support her family, can be the
single most effective force in the fight against AIDS and extreme
poverty.

To show your mom how much you care, send her a Mother’s Day card
from CARE and the ONE Campaign. I racked my brain trying to figure
out what to get my mom, and already I’ve sent her one of the impressive
e-cards. It was a unique and moving way to show my appreciation not
only for
what she’s done for me, but also my appreciation for what mothers in
the poorest countries – who have to overcome tremendous obstacles – do
to provide a better future for their children.

Mothers report.

Happy Mother’s Day!
