In addition to her newly adopted daughter, Meg has embarked on another mission to mold the "best version of herself." She has begun working with CARE, an international organization that seeks to ease hardships in the poorest places in the world.

After a speaking tour with Robert Kennedy Jr., CARE approached Meg about her involvement. "They made a very articulate and unbelievable case about how to eradicate poverty in the Third World," she says. "They believe the biggest step you can take toward doing that is the emancipation of women. And the biggest step towards the emancipation of women is somehow to cultivate community among women."

Meg says that following her divorce the strength and support of the women in her own life helped her, and she was eager to see how community worked in the rest of the world.

"One of the things about humanitarian work that's so interesting is that you realize how you can see yourself in anyone," Meg says. "You're in these places that you never imagined yourself being in, with people you never imagined yourself being around, and you see the same spark in their faces that you feel in your own or you feel in your children's faces."

One of Meg's CARE missions brought her to the Jehangirpuri slum in Delhi, India one of the poorest places on Earth.
