How can I donate for aid?
Living abroad Of course you can support our work financially with a donation or by organizing an event to raise money for one of our projects, but there are many other ways to help Curaçao. To make a proper judgement, one should be well informed in the first place. News reports in the Netherlands about the Netherlands Antilles in general and Curacao in particular, if often biased and short, resulting in a negative view of the Antilles in general and of Curacao in particular. We would like to point you to two Dutch newspaper which extensively write about daily life in Curacao so you can make that proper judgement: www.amigoe.com and www.antilliaansdagblad.com.
A very nice way to learn about the island is to visit it for a holiday, enjoy it's warm climate, the blue sea, the cosy bays and fantastic people. For all kinds of tourist information we would like to recommend curacao.pagina.nl. For a comprehensive view, don't forget not only to look for tourist attractions but follow the links to the people's living in so called people's communities. These communities are not always too comfortable to visit with their unpaved roads, but are certainly part of the island as well.
Wouldn't it be great to create fiscal deductions to stimulate every Dutchmen to visit this part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands once in his/her lifetime? That would be kind of a development aid and would provide many jobs in the tourist sector and other parts of the society. Many European Dutchmen would have a chance to meet Antillean Dutchmen in their own society and cultural, improving mutual understanding.
Would you like to invest in Curacao? The island is positioned just off the coast of South America and good airways with both North American and the Netherlands and beyond. All factors for a good climate to invest are available. For more extensive and detailed information about investment opportunities in Curacao we recommend: www.zakelijkcuracao.com.
To summarize, there are many opportunities, if only you want.
