RSN has worked with Polar Stork continuously for the last few years on a number of projects. We have been impressed at Polar Stork’s ability to handle these complex projects in languages with different direction formats and alphabets. We have benefitted from creative brainstorming around visual layout and display as well as technical features. It has been a real pleasure to work with Polar Stork and we highly recommend them to other NGOs and social enterprises!
