Pelican Adventures Makes Donation to Wilhelmina Fonds

PALM BEACH – Recently, as a part of the ‘season
of giving’, Pelican Adventures made a donation
of 5,000 florins to the Koningin Wilhelmina Fonds,
a well-respected local foundation with the ob-
jective to prevent and fight cancer in Aruba.

The foundation is not subsidized, so every dona-
tion is welcome to continue in their work to pro-
vide support to cancer patients living in Aruba.
The generous check was donated to Lillian
Prince, representative of the Aruban cancer
foundation, far left in the picture.
She received the donation from Pelican Adven-
ture’s owners Martin Molina, left and Oscar Hen-
riquez, far right, and manager Ian Molina.

on May 26, 1986 as a subsidiary of S.E.L. Maduro

In 1988 Mr. Oscar S. Henriquez and Mr. Martin
Molina acquired Pelican, and they still own and
manage the company today.
Pelican Adventures N.V. currently operates on-
land and on-water tours, sales force and activity
