Pulseras Project: Service in Action

As part of the Global Scholars Program, Kat K. is bringing the Pulseras Project to Pittsville Schools for two weeks! Pulseras are bracelets hand woven from Central American artisans primarily in Nicaragua and Guatemala. The Pulsera Project (pulseraproject.org) buys them and partners with schools in the US to sell them. The money we raise supports schooling, university scholarships, housing programs, healthcare, and disability rights advocacy in the communities in which the artisans live. Their projects are guided by the philosophy of empowerment. The Pulseras Project empowers the community with the skills and opportunities that allows them to provide for themselves and their communities. Pulseras will be for sale during lunch and at home sporting events from Monday, January 20th to Friday, January 31st.
