Adam Braun has witnessed first hand the transformative power of a pencil. Pencils of Promise (PoP)
is founded on the conviction that “education is a basic human right,”
and since its inception in 2008, PoP has brought over 40 schools to
communities in Laos, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. In addition to providing
the physical structure of a school, PoP creates and guides a full
educational experience through an all-encompassing approach: Identify, Build, Support, Hire, and Monitor. The success of the organization is
inspiring, and it goes without saying that Braun’s personal efforts to
execute and sustain his idea is astounding. Oh, and did we mention that
PoP has received nods from an extensive celebrity list ranging from
Justin Bieber to Desmond Tutu? The Biebs committed $1 for every ticket
sold on the second half of his “My World” U.S. Tour to PoP. You do the math.
