About us

Who we are
Buki di Pret is a non-profit run by a team of dedicated volunteers. Each year, we bring this project to life; supported by extra volunteers for tasks like translation, marketing, customer service, and school distribution.

Want to help? We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers. Get in touch!

What we do
Buki di Pret is a free summer booklet packed with fun activities and deals. Not every family knows what’s out there, or can afford it. That’s why we connect with local businesses and organizations to create accessible offers.

Want to join as a partner? Organize an activity, offer a discount, and pay a small fee to help cover our costs.

We collect all activities in a colorful Buki di Pret and hand it out to 9.000 children at all 52 primary schools on Aruba, for a summer full of fun!

Our goal
To give all kids aged 6–13 a joyful summer, full of discovery and new experiences. Through fun, low-cost activities, we help them explore their talents and enjoy their vacation.

Wishing everyone a fantastic summer!
Angela, Corine, Daisy, Freddy, Kiki, Kitty, Mandy, Nadine, Lia, Linda, Tivisay & Sergio

Help create an unforgettable summer for Aruba’s kids!

Some of our team members are leaving the island, so we’re looking for new volunteers to join our core team. Want to help us make Buki di Pret 2025 a success? This is your chance to be part of a meaningful, creative, and fun project that brings joy to thousands of children on Aruba!

What we do
As a team, we manage everything — from finding partners and sponsors to designing and distributing the Buki di Pret booklet. Our goal? A summer full of fun, learning, and affordable activities for all 6–13-year-olds on Aruba.
