Sonrisa is looking for volunteers to help with small, routine maintenance jobs, including care of trees and plants, painting of the organization’s three buildings, and mural projects. For bigger projects, Sonrisa’s wish is to one day build an awning and a cafeteria for its members to sit outside in shade.

Impact: Mission: Conduct beneficial activities for children and adults with mental disabilities, as well as their families and friends. Sonrisa, meaning smile in the local language of Papiamento, is a center created by family and friends of the mentally disabled, providing them with a place where they can spend the day and participate in educational and social activities, as well as implement strategies to help them lead as independent of a life as possible. The center is also a source of information and support for the family members. Sonrisa is actively dedicating its efforts on working towards more rights for the disabled in the community
