| Spanish Club held a pre-sale viewing. |
Pulsera Project a Huge Success
The Spanish Club sold out of all 500 pulseras! Following is an excerpt from a letter Sra. Gonzalez received from the Project's cofounder.
"That is absolutely incredible to hear that you & your students were able to sell all of the
pulseras-we've worked with nearly a thousand schools in the past four years and only a handful have ever been able to sell all of their
pulseras.....you guys should be so proud of your effort!
On top of being an amazing accomplishment for your Spanish students, it is also an enormous amount of funds that will be going to support the many different people & programs we work with in Nicaragua.....especially to continue providing full-time jobs for about 80 artists, and to provide funding for scholarships and our recently launched housing program, which is allocating funds to help the artists and their families purchase land and a home for the first time in their lives.
I just want to say thanks again for all of the time & hard work you put into making this
project a reality in your school! You guys are amazing!
Sincerely,
Colin Crane
CoFounder
The
Pulsera
Project
