Projects
Bridge2Rwanda
Stone Ward’s interns were honored to be able to work with Bridge2Rwanda on several different projects. Primarily, their task was to inform students on college campuses about opportunities to make a difference in the work by donating their time, money, or skills to the nation of Rwanda in general, and Muhabura University in particular. The challenge was to inspire them to act, to help change the course of a nation.
CARE
CARE was established in 1998 for the dual purpose of rescuing abandoned dogs and cats facing euthanasia as well as to provide programs to help people get their pets sterilized. From a group of 4 initial volunteers, the organization has grown to the point where hundreds of volunteers devote thousands of hours to our rescue and spay-neuter operations. Stone Ward’s interns were proud to work with CARE to develop new marketing strategies, new designs, and planning for one of their most important fundraising events, Paws on the Runway.
STARS
STARS is a leadership program organized by the North Little Rock School District. It is a student-led program in which high school students are able to mentor and serve as role models for pre-school students in a variety of ways. Stone Ward’s interns helped the program by designing the logo, marketing materials, and a series of posters for a theatre production produced by STARS.
