Rob, be our guest at a special screening of a powerful new film

New Action:

From CARE:



Join CARE for a special screening of: Ladies First
a PBS film documentary highlighting the extraordinary efforts of
Rwandan women rebuilding their country

Monday, April 11, 2005
6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

The Rockefeller University
Caspary Auditorium
1230 York Avenue (at East 66th Street)
New York, NY 10021

Ten years after the bloody genocide that killed an estimated
800,000 people in just 100 days, Rwanda's women are leading
their country's healing process and taking their society forward
into a different future. Ladies First, a PBS documentary for the
PBS series WIDE ANGLE produced by Thirteen/WNET New York, looks
forward with these women.

One of the women profiled in the film is Epiphanie Mukashyaka, a
widow and survivor of the genocide. With some support from USAID
through the Partnerships for Enhancing Agriculture in Rwanda
through Linkages (PEARL) project, she was able to construct a
coffee wet mill in 2003 and produce coffee for the American
Specialty Coffee market last year. Her coffee was judged as the
most exceptional coffee coming from a handful of new coffee
origins.

After the film, join us for a discussion with Abby Maxman,
CARE's country director in Haiti and former program manager in
Rwanda
