CAP continues to give back with impactful Back-to-School initiatives

Local | By Correspondent August 16, 2024

WILLEMSTAD - At Curaçao Airport Partners (CAP), our dedication extends beyond operating an airport; we are committed to uplifting our community and investing in its future. We recognize the power of change and the importance of nurturing the next generation. 

As part of our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives, we are continuing our community outreach with two significant back-to-school projects this August. 

On August 15, 2024, we unveiled a new playground at the F.O. Ellis Juliana – Sheila Karel School in Tera Kora. Constructed from sustainable materials provided by Rasta Wood, this vibrant playground reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility. The project was made possible through the tireless efforts of our Maintenance Department and the support of Janssen de Jong Caribbean, one of our valued shareholders, through its subsidiary CWM, ensuring that children now have a safe and enjoyable space. 

Additionally, CAP is donating 20 brand-new iPads, complete with covers and a year’s worth of licenses, to the school. We have also provided a new water cooler to ensure students have access to fresh, clean water. To celebrate the new school year, students enjoyed donuts from Duck Donuts, courtesy of our Commercial Department. 

The presence of the Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport, Sithree van Heydoorn and the Minister of Justice, Shalten Hato highlights the significance of CAP's community efforts and their support for our initiatives. 

Jonny Andersen, CAP CEO, stated: “We are proud of the progress we've made in supporting our community, but our journey doesn’t end here. Our ongoing initiatives reflect our dedication to not just meeting but exceeding our commitment to community welfare. We are determined to build on our achievements, ensuring that our efforts continue to make a substantial and positive impact on the lives of those we serve.”
