From Wednesday, March 22 to Friday, March 31, our Spanish Honor Society will be partnering with The Pulsera Project, a fair-trade nonprofit organization that seeks to empower, inspire, and educate people in Central America and the U.S.

The Pulsera Project provides sustainable, well-paying work opportunities for artisans in Nicaragua and Guatemala, most of whom make colorful hand-woven bracelets, or “pulseras” in Spanish. The project then creates a market for their artwork by partnering with schools across the U.S.

Pulseras will be sold for $7 here in our school (in the atrium before school and the cafeteria at lunch), and the proceeds will be invested in a wide range of social impact programs in Nicaragua & Guatemala, including:

• Sustained employment for nearly 200 artists
• Secondary education programs
• University scholarships for artisans and their families
• Healthcare for artisans and their families
• A housing program for artisans and their families
• Environmental initiatives
• Support for other social enterprises doing impactful work in these countries

We hope this will be a highlight of the school year as students engage with the beauty of Latin American culture while lending support to these skilled artisans and their communities!
