Summary
On April 16, we will go to Oranjestad with the "shower on wheels" and offer the homeless a shower, a haircut, food & clean clothes. Will you join?Detailed description
We would like to invite volunteers to join us to show what "Lean on me" does and we hope that there are volunteers who would like to help more often in the future.
We do this work with love. We share food and drinks. The homeless receive clean clothes and a towel so that they can take a shower. Those who want can also have their hair cut. In the meantime we have a chat with everyone who is open to this.
About Lean on me Aruba Foundation
We are a foundation that visits the homeless and homeless in the streets of Aruba. At the moment we do that downtown in Playa and in San Nicolaas. By bringing food and drink to them, we establish a relationship with them. Hair can now be cut, a shower can be taken in the "shower on wheels" and clean clothes are available. Through donations we can occasionally also issue a package with personal hygiene items. What we find most important is that we can share through testimony that other choices can be made. I myself have been addicted to various narcotics and alcohol for 16 years. I can testify that with God all things are possible. You can't see a way out yourself, but if God can transform my life, He can also do it with the people I meet on the street. It is also important to build trust with this target group.
