Posted by Jonathan Button and Quinn Vandenberg left the United States in May 2012 and moved to Nicaragua to create a business that gives back to the community.
And now – less than a year later – they are operating a successful business that buys and sells bracelets created by local artisans.
For every bracelet Jonathan & Quinn sell, they give school supplies to a child here in Nicaragua.

Since meeting this lovely Californian couple eight months ago we’ve become great friends.
We believe in Jon and Quinn and the Life Out of the Box vision so it was without hesitation that we bought a bracelet for our little miniature schnauzer Maggie Mae.
One thing we love about about Life Out of the Box is that we actually got to see the child we impacted. Each bracelet is stamped with a unique number that corresponds to a specific child.
Maggie’s number is 328 and the child she provided a gift to is David.
This is what Jon & Quinn had to say about him:
“This very sweet guy is David. He’s 14 years old and loves school. He had the biggest smile of all the kids we’ve met here in Nicaragua, a smile that will just make your heart melt.
He goes to school at Los Pipitos, which is a school in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua dedicated to children & adults with disabilities and special needs. He was so happy and thankful when he received the notebook we gave him on your behalf on the first day of school.”
Each time we look at Maggie’s LOOTB bracelet we are reminded of David and the difference we made.
