Interested? Please get in touch with us!

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.

Saludos!

Partner Ambassadors

Not a lot of time, but still want to help Buki di Pret as a volunteer? Become a Buki Partner Ambassador! You’ll manage your own group of activity partners and help us make their Buki di Pret activities a success.

Your role:

• Contact existing and new participants and get them excited to join Buki di Pret.
• Manage a minimum of 10 participants – you decide how many you’d like to take on.
• Make sure agreements are made using our standard participation form.
• Work with each partner to finalize their activity, including text, photos and design .
• Build a good relationship with your partners, so they enjoy working with Buki di Pret and want to return next year.
• Visit your partners in June to deliver their booklets, poster and stickers and remind them of the important do’s & don’ts.

Time commitment
From January to early April. For 10 participants, this takes approximately a few hours per week. More participants = more time.

And in June?
If you enjoy it, you’re very welcome to help distribute the Buki di Pret booklets at schools. Not a must, but definitely one of the most rewarding parts of the project!
