Allan and Clare Rosenfield have long been devoted supporters of BRAC and their vision to advance the well being of the poorest people in Africa and Asia, particularly of women and children.
Nick Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn’s new book, Half the Sky prominently features the story of BRAC USA’s founding Chair, Allan Rosenfield, a doctor who put the M in MCH –Maternal Child Health and championed women’s rights and empowerment. Even in the last years of his life, he dedicated his time and energy to take BRAC USA to new heights.
Allan Rosenfield’s wife, Clare Rosenfield opened her home and heart on Wednesday evening to friends and colleagues so that they could learn about BRAC and support its work. Through the Global Healing Foundation, Clare organized a special evening, involving a screening of New Horizons, a ten-minute introductory video on BRAC and Peter Buffett’s original song, Set Us Free with music video shot while visiting BRAC’s program for teenage girls in Bangladesh.
After viewing both videos, Allan and Clare Rosenfield’s son, Paul said, “I’d always heard about BRAC but now I understand why it’s so important.”
