WILLEMSTAD - Naval Base Parera recently held an open day, raising 7,000 guilders for various charitable organizations in Curaçao. This generous contribution was announced by the Caribbean Defense Force.
Visitors were invited to make donations during the event and also had the opportunity to purchase homemade meals on the base at a nominal cost. The entire proceeds from these activities will be directed towards supporting local charities on the island.
The beneficiaries of these donations include Kitten Rescue Curaçao, Daily Meal, Unique Curaçao Foundation, and Dog Curaçao Foundation. Each of these organizations, except for Unique Curaçao Foundation, received 2,000 guilders, while the latter received a donation of 1,000 guilders.
As these foundations do not receive government support, they rely solely on donations and sponsorships to carry out their essential work. The staff at Naval Base Parera expressed their delight at being able to make a positive contribution to these worthy causes.
