Everyone involved in making Open Field gave their time and talent for free. None of us are affiliated with CARE. We simply wish to assist them in empowering women in developing countries.

Each of the contributors to Open Field has offered a wonderful story about a moment of change in their life, in the hope that we can, in a small way, assist another woman in changing her life.

Open Field is an annual publication. Issue Two will be available early in 2013.
