KIA Residents attended jewelry workshops led by our volunteers as part of the FAIS Project. Swipe to see more of their beautiful creations!
We believe solidarity is about mutual learning and growth. In the FAIS Project, workshops were not only led by our volunteers but also by talented KIA residents, creating an exchange of knowledge and skills.
KIA residents and volunteers came together to cook some delicious dishes. It was such a wonderful opportunity to share their cultures and collaborate side by side 🍽
Throughout the FAIS Project, KIA residents explored their creativity and learned new skills: from making natural cosmetics and clay sculpting to creating vision boards and other crafts. These workshops were all about self-expression, learning and also connecting as a community.
Alongside creative workshops, participants of the FAIS Project stayed active with physical exercises like Zumba, self-defense and group workouts. Special thanks to Popcorn Club Aruba for teaching us some fun dance moves! 🕺🏻
FAIS was not only about delivering workshops. Each day of the project started with KIA residents and volunteers playing fun games together, sharing laughs and connecting. It was a wonderful way to set the tone for collaboration and joy for the rest of the day ✨
A special day during the FAIS Project: for the first time, some KIA residents were allowed to visit Artisa, a local art gallery. There, they met local artists who shared their stories and artwork, hoping to inspire and encourage creative expression. To make the experience even more meaningful, KIA residents and volunteers collaborated on a canvas painting together.
A big thank you to Artisa for this incredible opportunity and to everyone who made it happen! Tur Cos Ta Posibel!
In addition to the fun activities, volunteers worked alongside KIA residents and specialists to renovate the old cooking space. It’s incredible how, in just two weeks, they completely transformed it into a fresh, beautiful area. The mosaic created during the project was also added to the kitchen, making it even more special. Great job, everyone! 👏🏼
The last day of the FAIS Project was full of emotions and celebration ✨ The women’s wing at KIA hosted its own fashion show, with residents and volunteers modeling the upcycled clothing they created together over the past two weeks. We were delighted to showcase not only the fashion pieces but also the products made during the project’s workshops.It was an honor to welcome so many visitors, including Minister Rocco Tjon, who joined us to celebrate the incredible work done throughout the project.Thank you to everyone who supported this journey! 🫶🏼
