Rotaract Club of Aruba giving back to the community

Oranjestad— The dynamic team
of Rotaract Club of Aruba had a
very active year. Specially the last
month of the year was a very busy
one for the Rotaract Club of Aruba
in which they made donations to
different groups in our community.

A total of 30 soccer balls were
donated to the Football club La
Fama for the U-9 & U-11-2 divisions.
On December 19th 2018 the vice
president of the Rotaract Club of
Aruba, Mrs. Diantha Boekhouwer,
donated all the materials to the
football club. With this donation
the Rotaract Club of Aruba made
its contribution to support the sport
