My vibrant volunteering journey in Aruba!

I will stay in Aruba for half a year and besides my regular work, I very much like to do volunteer work to learn a little bit about the Aruban culture and to get to know the locals. Aruba Volunteers is a great platform to find different type of volunteer work. Past week I had the opportunity of volunteering for two sports activities.

 

At the House of Skate I helped the children with their equipment and at the Aruba Dolphins I helped during their yearly swimming competition.

 

It was an incredibly rewarding experience!

From the moment I arrived, the energy was amazing, with swimmers and families buzzing with excitement!

Once the races began, I transitioned to the timing station, where I helped record times and ensure everything ran smoothly. Throughout the competition, I witnessed some impressive performances and heartwarming moments, like young swimmers encouraging each other and celebrating personal bests. 

The sense of community was inspiring, and it was fulfilling to contribute to such a positive atmosphere at both events!


The event ended with entertainment from a brass band, something I had never witnessed before. This was very nice to experience.
