The Aruba Tourism Authority (A.T.A.) and Aruba Ports Authority NV (APA NV) proudly announce their participation once again in the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) “Holiday Gift Project.” This year’s celebration took place on December 9 at St. Paulus School in San Nicolas. The school was selected as the beneficiary in honor of 2025.
The Holiday Gift Project aims to bring joy during the holiday season by delivering gifts and creating moments of happiness. This year, the children of St. Paulus School enjoyed a morning full of surprises, a festive atmosphere, and meaningful interactions that will be remembered by everyone present.
The event demonstrated the power of collaboration, as different organizations came together to create a magical celebration for the children of St. Paulus School. Santa Claus was the special guest, capturing the attention of all the children. His arrival added a special touch as he danced with the children, while various classes presented dance performances to entertain everyone. The morning represented the true essence of the FCCA Holiday Gift Project: “bringing joy and creating memories that last.”
A.T.A. and APA NV reaffirm their commitment to supporting initiatives that strengthen the community and the bond between Aruba and its regional partners. Through continued participation in projects like the FCCA Holiday Gift Project, Aruba demonstrates its dedication to the responsibility and well-being of its community.
A.T.A. and APA NV thank FCCA, the St. Paulus School team, the captain and crew of Carnival Horizon, Diamonds International, Concept Creations, Parliamentarian Clifford Heyliger, Arubus, Dazzling Entertainment, and A Touch of Steel for their valuable contribution to this year’s celebration.
