Climate change is

happening

ORANJESTAD — Worldwide people get more aware and
worried about the changing of the climate. The non-profit
organizations Climate Action Aruba and Club Kibraha-
cha 60+ joined forces to organize an event to show re-
sponsibility. Join them on September 27th for a silent and
peaceful get-together at Club Kibrahacha in support
of the young school strikers. Show that people of Aruba
care.

There have been major droughts. June was the hottest
June and July the hottest month ever recorded by hu-
mans. A large area of the Amazon has been burning
for weeks. We are having more and stronger hurricanes,
more flooding and storm surges. 200 species are getting
extinct a day! We as individuals have the responsibility to
make changes in our own lives. But if governments don’t
take immediate and farfetched measures our small ac-
tions are useless.

Young people all over the world are walking out of school
this week to ask world leaders to step up and take more
climate action. No more false promises but emergency
measures. We know governments won’t do this on their
own, so join the global movement to push governments
to bring the change.

For this event people of all ages are welcome. This not
only concerns the younger generation, but all of us. Bring
a sign/banner, with your reason(s) for joining us. If you are
not able to come, you can also show your support by
holding a sign with your intention, mention Aruba on it
and post it on #Climatestrike). Join us! As individuals we
stand alone, together we can make a change!

Club Kibrahacha is located at Piedra Plat 23. The event
will take place from 9 to 10 in the morning. Find more info
