From the very beginning, we've relied heavily on the involvement of our interns. Our interns and volunteers are the people who have made it possible for CiH to be where it is today. They plan events for us, they fundraise, they network, they share the CiH story, they connect products to consumers who care about the story behind their accessory, they bring new ideas, and they are awesome while doing it. These folks are just the best, and we can't say enough great things about them- not just the current interns, but all who have gone before them, working in the trenches to give HOPE to women in Zambia.

So without further ado, meet our Spring 2015 Interns! These women are pretty incredible (and the most fun to work with). Learn more about them:

These women go above and beyond to provide Stateside support for our Zambia operations. And while we wish they'd stick around forever (pretty please!), we realize this is just a stepping stone for many of our interns. We love seeing them pursue exciting career opportunities with Ralph Lauren Corporate, major marketing and social media companies, and graduate degree programs. We love and support our CiH family of interns and volunteers, and love that they choose to use their passions and gifts for the benefit of the ladies we work with.

Thank you Lauren, Caroline, and Roxanna (and all who have gone before you) for all you do! You are truly making a difference in the lives of women in Zambia.

Love,
Amy
Founder & Executive Director
