After the overwhelming succes of the Childrens Museum Curaçao, which opened its doors on the 6th of December 2017, Aruba is also taking serious steps towards officially opening their Children’s Museum project – MUMA, which was already set in motion in 2016.
The joy and learning experience and discovering through the power of play is essential for children.
PBCCG is more then happy and proud to be of help to such great initiatives!
Go MUMA!
Een project van Greenkidzcuracao die inzet op een groene mindset-verandering bij de nieuwe generatie leerkrachten op Curaçao die nog in opleiding zijn aan het UoC – University of Curaçao. Dit door hen een unieke greenkidz module aan te bieden waarbij zij leren over milieuzorg en duurzaamheid en de situatie op Curaçao als ook zelfstandig leren werken met gratis GreenKidz lesmaterialen en lesplannen over afval zwerfvuil plastic en recycling voor het funderend onderwijs.
Een prachtig project met een enthousiast en professioneel team die studenten weten te motiveren en op de juiste manier in beweging weten te brengen.
Zo trots en zo blij dat wij dit project hebben ondersteund!
Keep it up Greenkidz!!
Sea and Learn Foundation and Saba Reach Foundation joined forces in this wonderful project ‘Create & Learn’. A month long program on SABA, hosted by 15 craftsmen of different skills, holding workshops and teaching participants new crafts and art forms. There are many art forms traditional to Saba like Saba Lace, The Saba Hoo-bush baskets, and the Saba woven hats, incorporated into this program.
The goal is to link other art forms to traditional Saban practices and to create a fusion Saban Art. Also to spend time in the local schools to incorporate their skills into the school curriculum. Locals, tourists, and children are all welcome to participate.
The PBCCG is extremely proud of this initiative and calls out to other NGO’s to join their forces and create more beauty!!
After their efforts beyond the call of duty, endless days of training and fighting all kinds of ‘after-Irma’ battles to make this theatre production a succes, they finally succeeded…. Last weekend the Behind The Beyond Community Theater Foundation presented:
A play of the Russian satirical Masterpiece that bears many comparisons to the present challenges and situations that Sint Maarten finds itself in. We are happy that we were able to help with this theatre play!
Keep up the good work!!

In November 2017, the chairman of the PBCCG Board traveled to Saba to honor Will Johnson with the 2017 PBCCG Prize
Mr Will Johnson accepts the PBCCG Prize from our Chairman Michèle Russel-Capriles
The Bottom –Every two years the Board of the Prins Bernhard Culture Fund Caribbean Region (PBCCG) awards a prize on each of the six Dutch Caribbean Islands in recognition of outstanding efforts in the fields of art, culture and nature. This year we chose to award William ‘Will’ Stanley Johnson with the 2017 PBCCG Prize on Saba.
On November 7, 2017, Michèle Russel-Capriles, the chairman of the PBCCG traveled to Saba, accompanied by Thijs Tromp, the board secretary of the Prins Bernhard Culture Fund in Holland, to bestow the honor on Will Johnson for his dedication to documenting and preserving the Saban way of life.
We are especially impressed by the massive archive of photographs, audio recordings and documents that Will Johnson has collected throughout his life. This archive, and the many collections it contains, is precious as it tells the story of Saba’s past, its people, its development and their traditions. But Will has not left it at that. A prolific writer, Will has published a number of books about specific historical aspects and continues to write a regular newspaper column “Under the Seagrape Tree” about the history and culture of the three Windward Islands, with special emphasis on Saba.
It is this dedication to preserving and imparting knowledge about the unique and great history of Saba and its neighboring islands that has earned Will Johnson the 2017 PBCCG prize. The prize was awarded in the presence of his family, close friends, representatives of organizations we support in Saba, as well as the Commissioner for Culture, Mr. Roland Wilson, and the Governor of Saba, Mr. Jonathan Johnson, who also represents our board in Saba.
It is the sincere hope of the board of the PBCCG that this prize will also inspire young people to contribute to the collective memory of our islands.
Family and friends gathered to witness and celebrate the awarding.
