Since 1976 Aruba has been celebrating its National Anthem and Flag Day on March 18th. As March 18th falls on a Monday this year, the celebrations will take place as of Saturday March 16th allowing for a long weekend of events.

Over 60 volunteers dedicated one morning to plant thirty six fruit and vegetable trees and sixty flower pots at an elementary school. With this gesture not only the Marriott Aruba Care Foundation are making Aruba greener, but also they are educating the students by helping them with the green project by providing a better environment as a part of their education program.

Seems Aruba's streetcar is off to a good start and is being considered an innovative addition for the downtown area, as it will facilitate cruise visitors to see more of our historic buildings and shops in the center of town.
