Subject: Tonight's Call with Melinda Gates

Dear Daniel,

On Melinda Gates’ recent trip to India, she met with villagers in Uttar Pradesh—a state that in 2005 had one of the highest per capita infant mortality rates in the world. But through smart investments in mother and child health, and by empowering women to improve their pre- and post-natal care practices, Uttar Pradesh has seen its infant mortality rate cut in half.

That success is a reminder of the incredible role women play in their communities worldwide. And it's what tonight's Women ONE2ONE interactive conference call with Melinda Gates and U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues, Melanne Verveer, is all about.

All you have to do to participate is visit the link below and dial in at 7:30 PM ET:

Together, we’ll get the word out about success stories and inspire others to join our movement to end poverty and disease.

Thank You,

Erin Thornton
Global Policy Director, ONE
