Lend a Hand, Grow a Community: Grounds-Beautification Days at Ambiente Feliz
By Leo Stemper

by Tony Slavin

A Little Time, a Big Impact
Since 1986, Stichting Ambiente Feliz has provided residential care and day-programs for Arubans with intellectual and multiple disabilities. Operating from two warm, home-style campuses—Cas Curason in Santa Cruz and Cas Briyante in San Nicolaas—the foundation’s mission is simple: give every client the dignity, skills, and joyful experiences that make life fulfilling.

Keeping those grounds safe and welcoming is part of that dignity. That’s where you come in.
