Giving Good

Currently Arikok National Park needs volunteers to help with beach cleanups on the northern coast of Aruba, as well as with the beaches of the park. The work is not heavy-duty but it is vitally important to help clean our shores and coast from the waste, which is harmful to marine life, that washes up on the shores. If your group is interested in organizing a beach cleanup, please do not hesitate to contact Carl Quant at +297 585-1234.

Ban Uni Man pa Cria Nos Muchanan would appreciate it very much if they could receive food donations that can be used to serve breakfast to the children. An example of donations could be juice boxes, small cereal boxes, healthy snacks, and bread. Monetary donations are also welcome.

Guides/counselors during fun camps and/or activities are always needed. If a group is interested in donating clothes, money, gift certificates, or school supplies, those donations are highly appreciated

General maintenance tasks like gardening, painting, and cleaning inside the building are always beneficial.  Cas di Cultura encourages cultural exchanges. If members of your group are performance art experts in any discipline and would like to meet local peers, email Cas di Cultura in advance to set up an informal meeting or gathering.

At the top of the wish-list for this organization is to add on a kitchen to the facility. Additionally, they would like to increase the number of food baskets distributed each month, obtain a vehicle for transporting, upgrade the warehouse, and upgrade their social market, “Cosoma.” FPNC also collects school supplies every August for needy families, and in December, more than 100 volunteers are recruited to help with their meal packaging event. Financial and material donations, including clothing for children and adults, is always appreciated.

Fundacion Siñami Paso Pa Paso Aruba appreciates help with a variety of projects, including their art workshop with recyclable materials.  These workshops need both recycled materials as well as implementation of these art projects. The foundation could also use some assistance in the public relations arena with help on developing a website, social media management, and promotion of awareness campaigns in the community.  Monetary donations are always welcome to help with the foundations ongoing financial needs as well as to help fund a new headquarters.

FoodChain has lots of different volunteering opportunities, including weekly help chopping, freezing, blending seasonal, local produce, helping educational outreaching for youth at tabling events or at our facility with cooking or farming, hosting tours of our farm, or farm work at our indoor aquaponics system.

Individuals and organizations can “adopt” a donkey, providing the financial resources to keep him or her fed and healthy. For those that prefer a hands-on encounter, volunteering at the Aruba Donkey Sanctuary by helping with the daily chores will give members of your group a meaningful experience.

Help with routine maintenance like painting and cleaning up the yard/green house and inside the home is always welcome.  But some quality time with organized games and activities with the kids, like soccer and crafts, or even a special meal, always makes a huge impact and is a rewarding experience for both the children and the volunteers.
