<h3>Sarah Darling Performed at CARE&#8217;s International Women&#8217;s Day</h3>
<p><strong>Sarah Darling</strong> performed last week for over a thousand advocates who gathered in Wahington, D.C. at <strong>CARE&#8217;s Conference and International Women&#8217;s Day Celebration</strong>. CARE is the leading humanitarian organization fighting poverty and has been in operation for over sixty years.</p>
<p>The annual conference brings together activists from all over the nation, professionals in the media, politicians, corporations and leaders in global health aiming to support CARE&#8217;s goal of raising critical funding and creating programs to improve the lives of marginalized women and girls all over the globe. Former First Lady Laura Bush was among the attendees.</p>
<p>The Tuesday night kick-off of the conference, marking the 100th anniversary of International Women&#8217;s Day, featured a special concert with <strong>Sarah Darling</strong> as well as <strong>Crystal Bowersox</strong>, <strong>India.Arie</strong>, and <strong>Michael Franti</strong>. </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was amazing to look around the room and see women and girls from all over the world celebrating together. I feel very fortunate to have grown up having all of the things I needed. Sometimes we take those things for granted. It&#8217;s always good to be able to see the bigger picture and realize that there are a lot of people around the world hurting. I was honored to be a part of such a wonderful event.&#8221; -Sarah Darling</p></blockquote>
<p>Darling became involved with the conference this year because of her ties with <strong>Join My Village</strong>, a social change initiative which supports women and girls in Malawi, sponsored by CARE, General Mills and Merck.</p>
