18 | January 24, 2019 | The glenview lantern school glenviewlantern.com Titans aim to boost self-sustainability abroad Submitted by Glenbrook South High School Students at Glenbrook South High School showed initiative this winter by helping out a nonprofit organization aiming to spread bracelets and bags made by people in Nicaragua and Guatemala across the U.S. The sale of the bracelets, known as pulseras in Spanish, and bags, known as bolsas, allows mothers in these countries to be able to work and take care of their children at the same time. The purpose of participating in the Pulsera Project was “to help and empower the people of Nicaragua and Guatemala,” according to Jorge Zamora, who teaches AP Spanish at GBS. It also “[allowed] students to take ownership of the project and realize what is important,” he said. About 140 GBS students participated in the initiative. Spanish AP language teacher Rachael Rothrauff said she was “impressed with how the students [presented in] other Spanish classes and had so many different ideas because this was all student-led.” Each bracelet contains a picture and the name of the person who made it, which creates a unique connection between the seller and buyer. GBS participated in the Pulsera Project for the first time this school year, and the students were able to raise $3,564 (about 150 pulsera sales per day). That money will provide fair-trade employment and college education for the creators of these beautiful items. About 2,500 schools participated in the initiative across the country, but GBS was part of the small handful to have made such a successful sale and difference in the lives of those in need. Tess Leden, a junior who participated in the Pulsera Project, said she bought 14 pulseras for her family for the holiday season, and the project “hit close to home” as she has family in Nicaragua. The Pulsera Project allowed her ”to realize how a small amount of money can mean so much to people” in other countries, Leden said.
