The Pulsera Project

In case you missed it!

One of many new big exciting changes we're rolling out on our website in the next couple of weeks is a brand new interactive map that shows all of the schools that have been involved with The Pulsera Project since 2009.

On top of sales scaling to show the number of previous pulsera sales led, active pulsera sales now show up in gold, so you can see everyone who is selling at the same time as you!

A new tab also breaks down sales by region and state, and you can select your state to see schools near you who have also hosted sales. We hope this new feature will be a fun way to visualize the impact and reach of the project across the U.S.!

Pulsera sales have been kicking off across the country the past two weeks, and there’s still plenty of time to sign up for your own! Great picture of the students at Judah Christian School!

Some fresh new pulsera designs from Guatemala!

A fresh batch of beautiful new pre-tied pulseras from Creamos in Guatemala -- headed to schools around the U.S. in the coming weeks!

In case you missed it!

We’ve been hard at work on a huge project that we’re excited to roll out to all schools leading pulsera sales this Fall — a brand new one-stop portal that helps you manage & track your pulsera sale and your school’s history with the project!

This huge new addition to our pulsera sale resources acts as an all-in-one way to log sales, track cashless payments, visualize impact, and to access resources to help with your sale along the way.

Schools will immediately receive a link to their unique portal within a few minutes of signing up for their pulsera sale, and in the meantime we invite you to take some time poking around in the sample portal to see what yours will look like!

You can give us feedback about the new portal using the messaging feature at the bottom of the dashboard – we’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

Another success in The Pulsera Project's housing project -- funds were recently used to pour a new foundation and build a new house for pulsera artisan José Pacach!

In addition to providing fair-trade wages for artisans, proceeds from school sales also go to supporting local social impact organizations and to artisan benefits such as The Pulsera Project's Housing Program.

As we shared recently, we’ve been hard at work on a brand-new portal for schools leading pulsera sales this Fall — a one-stop home for managing your sale, tracking your school’s history with the project, visualizing your impact, and accessing resources along the way.

Now there’s another part of the new portal we’re especially excited about: a brand-new Spanish Materials tab!

We know that for many Spanish teachers, a pulsera sale is also an opportunity to bring Spanish language, culture, and global education to life in the classroom. That’s why we’ve created a new searchable home for our growing collection of Spanish-language educational materials, available right inside your school’s portal.

Browse and search activities, readings, videos, lessons, and other resources designed to help you incorporate The Pulsera Project into your Spanish curriculum, whether you’re looking for something to introduce before your sale, use while pulseras are at your school, or explore with students throughout the year.

Schools receive a link to their unique portal within minutes of signing up for a pulsera sale, but you can start exploring right now in our sample portal.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped support Guatemalan youth and education through funding a computer lab at the CEMSAC school in Santa Cruz Quixaya.

Through your donations, $1,478 was raised with our Zeffy campaign, the remaining $5,310 from The Pulsera Project via pulsera sale proceeds and labor & time from our local partners at IMAP (Instituto Mesoamericano de Permacultura).

Hemos culminado con los procesos de cotizaciones, compra y entrega del equipo de computación, mejoramiento de energía eléctrica con potencia de 120Kb parque que las computadoras y no haya problemas con tempestades y ausencia de energía eléctrica repentina.

Los maestros y estudiantes están muy felices porque era un sueño tener este laboratorio. Se que paso a paso ellos podrían buscar otras computadoras nuevas ya que tienen ahora 6 nuevas que Pulseras proporcionó pero hace falta otras para cambiarlas por las viejitas. Aún falta mejoras en el techo y paredes pero fue un gran aporte que Pulseras proporcionó para mejorar el piso y la energía eléctrica.
