Summit middle school Spanish students are sponsoring “The Pulsera Project.” “The Pulsera Project” is a non-profit organization that empowers young Nicaraguan artisans through the sale of their colorful handwoven bracelets (“pulseras” in Spanish) in U.S. schools. Proceeds from the Pulsera sale are reinvested in numerous programs in Nicaragua.
Pulsera sales will be held simultaneously with the Scholastic Book Fair from Friday, December 4th (starting after school) until Friday, December 11th (closing at 11 am). Each pulsera is a unique work of art and will sell for only $5!
When you wear a pulsera, you not only share the voice of a young Nicaraguan, but you raise your own voice too, speaking out for opportunity, unity, and a more equal and colorful world.
