ORANJESTAD 20 Dec 2020, ARUBA
Helping Santa spread the Christmas spirit, the Freewinds Volunteer Ministers made stops at the YMCA facilities and Imeldahof with gifts and merriment to cheer the kids and their parents making this Christmas a special time they will remember in the years to come.
Over the past few days the volunteers visited the YMCAs in San Nicolas and Dakota as well as Imeldahof with gift bags that were handed out to each child by Santa with the Freewinds Volunteer Ministers filling in as elves.
The children attending their Christmas events at the YMCAs were not expecting a visit from Santa Clause. When Santa was announced as arriving shortly by one of his elves they screamed with delight. Santa came into the room and asked if all had been good boys and girls. Upon getting a big “YES” from everyone Santa and his elves distributed the gift bags to the excited children.
The Operations Manager of the YMCA, Mr. Chris Figaroa said, “First I would like to thank the Freewinds and crew for all of the hard work they have been doing with the sanitizing and cleaning of schools, organizations, government buildings and public places for the community of Aruba.
“I think the children were very surprised, excited and happy. The smiles on their faces were great to see, especially after all that we have gone through this year with the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are very grateful and forever thankful for the Freewinds and Volunteer Ministers for making it a very special Christmas dinner for the kids.”
The staff at the Imeldahof Center had similar originations of gratitude to the volunteers for taking the time to not only come and sanitize their spaces making it very safe for the kids during the holiday season but to do something special for them and giving them a surprise they were not expecting at all.
Mr. Ken Weber, Port Captain of the Freewinds stated, “It has been our pleasure to help in the fight against Covid-19 in Aruba. It is our intention to continue with all our prevention and sanitation actions to make Aruba the safest place on earth. But during the holidays we are adding a dose of cheer to our crusade to keep the community safe and maintaining all protocols, by bringing happiness to the children because even though we are having to keep social distancing, we are all in this together. We were more than pleased to see the excitement of the children and their happy faces when they got their Christmas gifts.”
