To conclude the first project week, the students partici-
pated in the Beach Clean Up that took place in the area
of Grape Field. Both AHATA and Ecotech sponsored the
event by donating cleaning equipment and a waste con-
tainer. In less than 2 hours, a group of around 30 students
collected a total of 30 – 35 large waste bags. The group
that collected the most waste will be rewarded with cash
prizes during the kick-off of the second project week.

The project’s theme addresses the so called New Econ-
omy, in which environmental care, corporate social re-
sponsibility and sustainability are important principles for
taking care of Aruba’s sustainable future. With this Beach
Clean Up, FEF contributed to this vision with concrete
actions of students, who will be the next generation of
leaders.q
