GLW Foundation is in full preparation for Miss Teen Aruba International 2026. This year marks the 17th anniversary of the pageant, during which Miss Teen Aruba International has demonstrated that the organization works toward the best training and development of its candidates. The achievements over the past 19 years, with George Winterdaal as President, are proof of the good work done with the contestants.
The countries where candidates have represented Aruba include the Dominican Republic, Panama, El Salvador, the Bahamas, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia, Bulgaria, Russia, Puerto Rico, and more.
Since George assumed the presidency of Miss Teen Aruba, and later Miss Teen Aruba International, the motto has been “More than a beauty pageant,” and every year different projects are organized. GLW Foundation carries out projects such as Cupcake di Speranza, Un Man Pa Nos Ruman, Feed the Kids, and many other charitable activities together with the candidates.
The organizing committee ensures that each candidate is prepared with all the necessary tools to support her development for the future. Many Miss Teen Aruba International candidates have later continued to participate in other platforms such as Reina Hispanoamericana, Miss International, Miss World, and Miss Universe.
