Latino Club to host Yuda Band sale, seeks volunteers

Sponsoring a year’s education for a child in the third world country of their selection, the Latino Club of North Idaho college will be hosting a sale of Yuda Band bracelets from Feb. 24-March 7.

Guatemala-based students and families in need of employment construct the leather and coconut bracelets, which will be sold tax-free at $7.

If 175 bands are sold, the club will have achieved their goal.

Once officially started, the club will be under a time limit: the program allows three weeks for preparation and training, and two weeks for the actual sale.

“To imagine that our efforts could pay for the education of a child for an entire year, is something that we hope that all NIC students can stop and take a minute to think about,” said Latino Club President Corinne Ready. “We would be truly fortunate, way up here in Northern Idaho, to make a difference and contribute to a small step away from world poverty, toward education.”
