Description
Everyone benefits from our business model.The mentors are able to use their skills for a good cause without having to give a lot of their time. The students get to make something real, get professional supervision and make important networking contacts. And the organizations get a powerful marketing tool that they would otherwise never be able to afford.
There are many variations of the folk tale Stone Soup. In the most common version, a great famine in Eastern Europe causes people to hoard their food. Weary travelers, searching to fill their empty stomachs, arrive in a new town. When the villagers shun them, the tricky travelers start making a soup with water and "magic stone". Soon the curious and hungry villagers donate ingredients that make a tasty meal for everyone.
Stone Soup Films was founded on a similar belief - that we each have the power to give and collectively we can achieve things we could never do on our own.
