JCI Aruba Female organizes annually a community project. The primary purpose is: awareness and action towards different topics, regarding topics that are a taboo in our society and is being ignored, remains a secret or simply that nothing is being done about it to make a change. This year JCI Aruba Female is looking forward to aware the community about the serious issues/taboo that are truly affecting everyone in this community with concerns towards the young children and youth. These issues are:
- Early sexuality: youth STD’s, Incest, juvenile parenthood, sugar daddy’s – and mommy’s and also about the consequences of early juvenile sex in the future
- Increasing juvenile crime: Gang, assault, battering, theft, alcohol abuse and drugs and the consequences about juvenile crime for the youth involved
- poverty: children with no clothes, no food and no schooling
- Increasing Drop outs and no schooling
The name of our community project is: “It Takes a Community To Raise a Child”
With the community project of this year , the committee is planning an awareness week for 30 juveniles at the YMCA San Nicolas. In this awareness week these 30 juveniles will receive educational and fun activities to inform them about the issues mentioned above that could be harmful for their futer. These 30 youth children will be chosen by the YMCA together with JCI Aruba Female. Besides the awareness week the committee will also give a helping hand to the less privileged children in our community, in order to act towards the issues of poverty mostly among the younger children. The committee has chosen, with the help of active foundations, five children between the ages of 6-12 of families living in humble situations, from all six districts of Aruba. For this beautiful action plan against child poverty in Aruba, the committee has approached the CMB bank and is looking forward for a conjoining work to help these children.
The awareness week will be held in the week of 3rd to 7th of August 2009. The organizations/foundations that will be part of this project together with JCI Aruba female are:
Ø CIAD: with information about drugs among youth and gangs in Aruba by Rene Ridderstap
Ø Kinder & Zeden Politie : with information about criminality among the youth
Ø Telefon pa Hubentud: with information about youth problems
Ø Fundacion Respetami
Ø Wit Gele kruis
Ø Fundacion Desaroyo Educativo
Ø You got talent :Directed and produced by Mr. Jeancarlo of the excite crew)
This community project certainly accomplishes one of the missions of JCI Aruba Female; that is in the area of opportunity community. Help, aware and make a change in the community of Aruba with concerns towards the children and youth.
The sources that backup the reality facts of our research before the conclusion of the issue/taboo topic points of the community project , are: Kinder & Jeugd Politie (KZP), CBS, Telefon pa Hubentud (THP), CIAD, Famia Plania , Directie Sociale Zaken (DSZ), Fundacion Sostenemi, Wit Gele Kruis and Directie Besmettelijke Ziekten (DBZ).
To formulate our purpose and finalizing our community project plan, the committee made a qualitative research among above mentioned organizations. The target was to collect enough information about the children of Aruba, both target age groups (6-12 and 12-18).
After an intensive desk – and field research the committee has come to a few crucial issues that are truly affecting the children of Aruba which are becoming worse and increasing on a daily basis. These Issues are categorized as:
Youth category {12-18}
Ø increasingly school drop outs: high school
Ø increasing juvenile crime : theft, violation/armed assault, crimes, battering, gangs, drugs
Ø sexuality : incest, pregnancy, sexual transmitted deceases (STD), alcohol and prostitution
Young children category {6-12}
Ø increasing amount of non-schooled children: primary school
Ø living in poverty : no food, no clothes, no school materials
Ø sexuality: incest, sugar daddy’s – and mommy’s, pregnancy and sexual transmitted deceases (STD)
The goal of the community project is to give the community of Aruba information about the increasing issues mention above among children and youth.
Our goal is to have an awareness week for the youth together with the different organizations in combination with activities to entertain the youth during this week. Our goals is also to help the young children who are in need of clothing, school accessories, food, love and warmth by giving them a helping hand with basic and school supplies on the last day of the awareness week in august. Hopefully we can continue with a community awareness campaign in written and through the media in the near future.
