community during the third edition of ‘Long Table’ Aruba

ORANJESTAD — Wind Creek Hospitality together with Renaissance Aruba
Resort & Casino exceeded all expectations with the third edition of ‘Long
Table’, as the culinary event was completely sold out months before
date. For just one night the team members of Renaissance Aruba served
dinner at the longest table on the island. The table covered a large part
of the L.G. Smith Boulevard accommodating 1,000 people. This year all
proceeds of the event went to one charity: Pasadia Infantil Te Aworo

$30.000 to Pasadia Infantil Te Aworo
Pasadia Infantil Te Aworo is a daycare for children between the ages of
0-4 that was founded in 1962 in San Nicolaas under the name of Mgr. A.
van der Veen Zeppenfeldt Foundation. The capacity at the daycare is
for 150 children, but due to its bad condition and urgent repair needs,
they have currently only 39 children under their care. The plan is to get
in full operation once the repairs are completed so that they can keep
taking care and educating the children of Aruba, especially from San
Nicolaas. The community contributed to this good cause by buying a
ticket for 30 dollars. All 1,000 attendees enjoyed a three course dinner
