Ridge High School Raises Awareness and Funds for Artists in Central America
Schools; Education; RHS
From May 30, 2017 to June 9, 2017, Ridge High School's AP Spanish classes will be selling hand-woven bracelets (pulseras in Spanish) to empower the artists who make them in Nicaragua and Guatemala. The sale was organized through the Pulsera Project, a Fair Trade nonprofit organization that empowers and educates people in the U.S. and Central America through pulsera sales. Student and teacher volunteers raise funds that benefit fair trade jobs, worker rights, sustainability, and education, while learning about the culture, lives, and struggles of Central Americans. The Pulsera Project’s goal is to create a more just and colorful world by encouraging conscious consumerism and social enterprise. Check out the link below for more details!
