As part of Aruba Doet 2018, La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino recruited volunteers among its associates for community work. The project that was assigned to the resort involved Casa Cuna di Progresso, the baby and toddlers’ foster home in Balashi.
The volunteers rolled up their sleeves and went to work helping paint and repair the school yard and in general organize a thorough clean up.
Upon arrival at the site it was apparent that the Jungle Gym was severely discolored and damaged in several areas. The volunteers did their best to clean the yard, raking leaves, and re-creating floor games, but the Jungle Gym required additional work, it could not simply be painted over, but had to be finely sanded first.
Resort management willingly agreed on the further commitment and contracted outside help to have the entire yard professionally clipped and cleaned and the Jungle Gym sanded, welded and inspected for safety.
On a recent Saturday, La Cabana’s volunteers were back for the final stage of repainting. Another visit is scheduled down the road to complete some more work around the playground but the volunteers are committed, and they will return.
The Human Resources and Maintenance Teams agree they will properly wrap this project up and deliver a product that they are proud of to the kids, as La Cabana never leaves a job undone and always goes the extra mile.
