Foundation Sentro di Bario Otrobanda
By Judice Ledeboer
Just behind the new police station in Otrobanda
is the 19th-century Huize Halman, situated in St.
Martinsteeg. In the garden there are some beau-
tiful, old Curaçao trees. The cottage today pro-
vides shelter to the Community Center, Sentro di
Bario Otrobanda. Behind the building, there is a

ketball, or volleyball.
The Community Center is the social heart of the
district. With the few resources they have, resi-
dents from the area and volunteers recently re-
furbished the inside of the building, which now
has a fresh look, with bright colors on the walls.
The center has three employees. The caretaker
is present from 3:00 to11:00 PM, the others only
work part of the day.
According to President Jonathan Plantijn, a Com-
munity Center plays an important role in the lives
of local residents and society in general. “You
have your home, the school, and the Community
Center,” he says. Besides children, the Commu-
nity Center is also frequented by local residents.
Therefore, the activities organized at the Commu-
nity Center are aimed at all residents, both young
people and the elderly. Adrian Simon is one of
WKHERDUGPHPEHUVDQG\RXFDQ¿QGKLPDWWKH
Community Center almost on a daily basis. He
helps organize activities, and is a contact person
for anyone out there. The Community Center is
open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Once a week,
there is a special morning for the elderly, who
come together to meet and to have a cup of cof-
fee. Sometimes there are also activities aimed at
this target group.
In the afternoon, young people come from 12:30
to 7:00 PM. The children then have lunch, get
help doing their homework, domino lessons and/
or music lessons, and join sports activities. Three
times a week, there are dance classes. The Cen-

RichailineRichailine Elisa was born and raised in
the neighborhood of Otrobanda 25 years
Elisaago. She fell in love with acting when she
started watching soap series. “I think it’s
safe to say that I was obsessed,” she says.
“I used to walk around the house playing
different characters. I wanted to be just
like them. “

ter gives information about all kinds of themes and
projects, which are organized. In mid-September,
the project ‘Kolegio Santa Familia’ was started in
association with FDDK, where 36 young people
follow a basketball training course.
The Foundation is now also working to set up
child care for children of working mothers. The
plan is to accommodate 35 children. A plan has
been submitted, and the Foundation is still wait-
ing for funds.
The Community Center is run primarily by vol-
unteers from the neighborhood. Last summer,
there was a holiday plan. This year, 30 children
between the ages of 7 and 15 years participated.
The theme was tourism. The children visited vari-
ous hotels and were given a tour of their own dis-
trict.
A nice project that was recently been set up is
called: ‘Na kaminda pa... ‘ [On our way to....].
In this project, young adults are helped ‘on the
road to ..... for example success ‘. It is a course
for underprivileged children, meant to keep them
from going astray and leaving school. They get
courses on ‘ who am I’, budgeting, and sexuality,
and they learn to write letters of application. Many
children come from school to the Community
Center because there is nothing to do for them at
home or in the area. “You have to keep in touch
with the local area,” says Plantijn. “People come
here to make contact and therefore, we are open
all day.” Of course, the Community Center orga-
nizes annual events at Christmas time, Easter,
on Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, and Carnival.
This neighborhood center is truly a multifunction-
al place. Plantijn thinks that community centers
should be taken seriously, because they can play

The Community Center is now giving priority to
their playground. They want to acquire a new
slide for their youngest local residents.

We live in a world of preser- !Ã'|-,(-"'
vatives; a big percentage %-!2Â+'%,,
in our diet consists of pro-
cessed foods and is most
unhealthy. More than 3,000
food additives, preserva-
tives, flavorings, color and
other ingredients are add-
ed to our foods. This has
ramifications for our health
which in turn can bring on
many illnesses. The right
choice and eating healthy
is now more important than
in the past when food qual-
ity was better than to what
it is today.
