Drie weken geleden berichtten de media op Aruba al over de realisatie van de nieuwe stichting SEZ. In de breedste zin van het woord fungeert SEZ als steunpunt en vangnet voor Caribische Nederlanders. Dankzij haar netwerk heeft SEZ in samenwerking met Stinafo een unieke mogelijkheid voor Aruba gecreëerd.
Stinafo is een zeer actieve stichting met veel naamsbekendheid in Nederland en ook reeds op Curaçao. De stichting biedt hulp aan kinderen en jongeren met een handicap of chronische ziekte. Stinafo krijgt geen subsidie voor haar werk en is volledig afhankelijk van giften. Stinafo helpt kinderen die elders geen hulp krijgen. Daarbij wordt geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen de aard van de handicap of beperking. Lichamelijk, verstandelijk, meervoudig of enkelvoudig gehandicapte of chronisch zieke kinderen; allen kunnen op hulp rekenen.

Winning a World Champion title in the Professional Windsurfing Association is no mean feat; winning two in the same year is truly exceptional. At just 20 years of age, Sarah-Quita Offringa from Aruba has achieved just that – she is the PWA Women’s Slalom World Champion and the PWA Women’s Freestyle World Champion.
Offringa has finished on the podium at every single PWA Tour event she has contested this year. At five of the seven regattas she stood on top of the podium and in the Freestyle competition proved unbeatable. Her dominance is outstanding and her ability to excel in two very different disciplines of windsurfing is impressive.

Aruba’s pristine shoreline got a hefty helping hand in staying that way this past Saturday morning, November 12, when nearly 1000 volunteers took to the beaches for the 10th anniversary edition of the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association Environmental Committee Coastal Zone Clean-up.
Keeping Aruba’s beaches clean is a 365-day-a-year job – the responsibility of everyone who enjoys Aruba’s premier natural resource. Fortunately, a number of island organizations stage clean-ups throughout the year, and the AHATA Environmental Coastal Zone Clean-up has grown to include a substantial number.

It was a very proud moment for Holland and Aruba when the Dutch National Team made baseball history in Panama in mid-October by winning the World Cup of the International Baseball Federation (IBAF). It was the first time since 1938 that a European team had taken the title, wresting it from the powerhouse team of Cuba which had remained undefeated for the past 26 years.
Considered the top team in Europe and sixth in the world by the IBAF, the Netherlands Team boasts quite a few excellent players originating from Aruba and Curacao, where baseball is an exalted sport. Aruba has some excellent players in Little League, such as this year’s Caribbean Champions, Junior League-last year and this year’s Latin Regional Champions and Senior League which won the 2010 World Series and this year’s Latin Regional Championships.
