Last December, Colin Crane went to Nicaragua with his family and came back with the beginnings of what would become a successful service group: the Pulsera Project. The Pulsera Project is a program that buys handmade bracelets — or “pulseras” in Spanish — from children in Nicaragua and sells them in the United States. The profit is then donated back to programs in underdeveloped countries.
