Rotary Fun Fair: The annual Swarthmore Charity Fun Fair was held this past Spring in the Ville and featured vendors, music, food and inflatable slides. All proceeds from the Fair benefit a number of charities and non-profit organizations, with the Rotaract Club participating in raising funds for the Pulsera Project, as well as the Lincoln Reimagine Project that provides financial grants directly to local community groups such as ABC Houses and the Chester Children's Chorus.
Pulsera Project Sale The Pulsera Project is a non-profit organization that supports Nicaraguan communities by providing fair trade employment through the sale of colorful, hand-woven bracelets called pulseras. Shelter youths, independent families as well as co-operatives in Uganda and Guatemala in Nicaragua rely on this project for their incomes.
