This is a presentation of a service project that myself and some classmates undertook to benefit the Pulsera Project.

1. THE PULSERA PROJECT AT PAHS
LUKE CARROLL

2. OVERVIEW
My senior year of high
school I was enrolled
in a Leadership Skills
Development class, as
a service component
my class and I decided
to support the Pulsera
Project.

3. WHAT IS THE
PULSERA PROJECT?
Non-Profit organization that is
based in Managua, Nicaragua
Provide food, water, shelters,
schools to the poor and
malnourished children in the city
and surrounding areas.
Raise money by having schools and
organizations in the U.S sell pulseras
- spanish for bracelet - made by the
children and artisans in Nicaragua
for 5 dollars a piece.

4. HOW WE DID IT
Contacted the director Colin Crane and he shipped us 600 pulseras to sell
We set up officers, myself as President, and another student was elected Secretary
Then split into committees;
Publicity: Handled advertising campaigns, and video commercials for sales.
Treasury: Collected and counted money that was recieved.
Education: Made powerpoint presentations, coordinated with school
administration to have a presentation in auditorium to raise awareness of
our service project.

5. SELLING PROCESS
Our advertising campaign consisted of fliers
and posters strewn about the halls within
the school. Also consisted of video
commercials that we posted on YouTube
and a Facebook page we made to promote
our cause.
Partnered with outside organizations such
as Cold Stone Creamery, and The Daily
Grind to hold events to sell pulseras.
Individuals within the class also had to meet
an obligation of selling at least 10 pulseras ,
but as a class we averaged close to 30 sales
individually.
Also to couple our sales we set up a table
in between classes so students walking to
and from class could buy pulseras.

6. OUTCOME
Within the first week we had
already sold 400 pulseras so we
contacted Colin again and we
received 300 more to sell.
Collectively we made just over
$4100 dollars. Which in turn means
we sold 820 bracelets.
The director sent emailed us later in
disbelief because to date we are the
most successful branch of the
Pulsera Project making the most
money for the organization.

7. REFLECTION
To me this project was rewarding in
many senses. It enabled me to
understand philanthropy at different
levels. It also gave me hands on
experience on how to effectively
run a successful service project. It
was so amazing to be so successful
and to have played a role in getting
all of that money to those children
and artisans in Nicaragua to aid
them get an education and provide
them with basic life necessities.
