Summary
We approach organizations to organize a summer activity for the children. We write texts and together we take care of the layout of the Buki.Detailed description
In the core team of Buki di Pret we currently work with six people to give all primary school children on the island (about 9000!) an unforgettable summer holiday. Every year we publish Buki di Pret, a booklet with about 100 activities at various organizations on the island. Incredibly beautiful and rewarding to do!
3 of our core team are moving back to the Netherlands this coming summer and we are therefore looking for other enthusiasts who would like to help us out.
Contents of the work:
At the end of the year we discuss our plans for the coming year. From January to April we approach organizations to organize a summer activity. We write texts and take care of the layout of the Buki. We approach and consult with barios, schools and churches to reach the most vulnerable children on the island. The Bukis are printed and from June they are distributed to the 50 schools and the participating organizations and sponsors on the island. The activities take place during the summer vacation.
Hours of work in the months from January to early April is approximately one day per week. From April to July it is approximately 4 hours per week. In addition, it is nice (but not a must) if you can also visit some activities during the summer holidays to take photos for social media or to check how the activity is going. You can pick up the work fairly independently in the time that suits you best. We meet when necessary, but we do approach each other to brainstorm. You can also choose to do it together with a friend, so that you can visit organizations together.
What is the social impact?
Buki di Pret gives you the opportunity to make contacts with all kinds of organizations and people in Aruba. You enter everywhere, so to speak. It expands your network. In addition, we are connected to each other as a team. How we fill that in next year is up to the "new" team that is forming.
Are you that enthusiastic go-getter? Do you like to approach new people and organizations in Aruba and inspire them to participate in Buki di Pret? Do you really want to create something tangible? Then we would love it if you would join our team!
