There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

CARE is the largest, most well-established and hugely respected development organization you’ve maybe never heard of. Or maybe you have. Have you ever given or received a “care package?” CARE created the first CARE Packages in 1945 when it was founded to deliver relief in the form of blankets, non-perishable foods, seeds and other items to war-torn Europe.
Over the past 70 years, CARE’s way of working has changed from delivering packages of goods, to helping people learn the skills to create sustainable change. Today CARE places special focus on working alongside poor girls and women because, equipped with the proper resources, they have the power to lift whole families and entire communities out of poverty. Last year CARE worked in 87 countries and reached more than 97 million people around the world.
So why is CARE joining the Think Tank? We want YOU to help brainstorm ways to engage supporters and donors in CARE's life-saving work.
