New TEAM project at KIA : Barbering, Arts, Mechanics (BAM)

12th – 30th May 2025

The project

Tur Cos Ta Posibel is deeply active in KIA, the prison of Aruba through ESC Volunteering projects both in long and short terms.
BAM (stands for Barbery, Art and Mechanics) is going to be a 3 weeks project that aims to engage the young inmates (age 21-30) of the male departments of KIA with both professional and recreational activities.
After the successful previous editions of AMIS and FAIS (check on our website), BAM is going to be a project where Artistic activities like a mural in the sport ground will go alongside with more professionalising activities like Barbery and Mechanics, that will help the young inmates in their future professional life outside the prison.

Accommodation and meals

Volunteers will live in a shared house with other international participants. Rooms will be shared with between 2 and 5 people in our community house. Volunteers will receive a bank card with a food allowance so they can buy and prepare their meals (except weekdays lunches – in KIA) and purchase household necessities. The accommodation is well located, 5 minutes’ walk from a local beach and with all the appliances and equipment needed for self-catering. Towels will be provided. TCTP will cover economy flights with hand luggage and a van will be provided for getting to and from KIA.
