During the weeks of Monday, 5/5 - Friday, 5/16 the NCLAś 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 $5 CASH here in our school during lunch or ONLINE Pulsera Online Purchase. You can pay via card, Venmo, Google and Apple Pay, or Paypal. Students can redeem pulseras with the receipt you’ll receive after your purchase, or with cash during the sale. Please note that there is a $0.50 transaction fee for all online transactions to cover service fees.
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
INCENTIVE: The top 3 students (from Spanish Honor Society and all of the NCLA Spanish Classes combined) who sell the most bracelets will receive a prize!!!
1st place: $50 WALMART GIFT CARD
2nd place: $25 WALMART GIFT CARD
3rd place: $10 WALMART GIFT CARD
We hope this will be a highlight as students engage with the beauty of Latin American culture while lending support to these skilled artisans and their communities!
