Moment voor Ons

Moment voor Ons
Stichting Mantelzorg Aruba provides support to the invisible heroes of our island. For Aruba Doet, we are organizing the workshop “Moment for Us.” The client, also called the “ser keri” (loved one), can briefly escape from the daily routine of care. Together with their caregiver, we will offer them a moment to enjoy themselves and forget the daily burden. This is a way for them to truly be together, without everything revolving solely around caregiving.

During this creative and reflective morning, we will take the loved ones on a tour around our beautiful island together with their caregiver. At the end of the morning, we will sit by the sea for a picnic, where each person will paint on a canvas the added value they feel their caregiver brings to their life. The caregiver, in turn, will paint the added value they experience from their “ser keri.”

The purpose of this day is to give one another the appreciation, recognition, and love they deserve, without having to think about their daily caregiving responsibilities, which often prevent them from simply enjoying each other’s company.
Here is the translation of the second part, focusing on that "pioneer" feel to attract long-term volunteers:
What will your volunteer do? We aren't just looking for help for a single day; we are looking for the pioneers of our new foundation. As a volunteer during Aruba Doet, you will help guide the workshop, but your main goal is to get to know our mission and vision firsthand.

What will you do?

Support caregivers and their loved ones during the creative activity.

Brainstorm with us about the future: how can we provide long-term support to caregivers through talk sessions and workshops?

Build a connection with our team, making Aruba Doet the starting point of your ongoing role as a volunteer within our foundation.
