On Tuesday, August 18, a special edition of the Buki di Pret (Book of Fun) program took place aboard the cruise ship Carnival Horizon docked in Aruba, as part of celebrations marking the 45th anniversary of APA N.V., Aruba's port authority. Children participating in the Buki di Pret initiative were given the opportunity to explore the Carnival Horizon cruise ship firsthand. During the visit, participants also met with key executives from Carnival Cruise Line, providing a unique educational and experiential opportunity for Aruban youth. The event highlights the close relationship between Aruba's port authority and Carnival Cruise Line, one of the island's most significant tourism partners. The Buki di Pret program is designed to engage and inspire local children, and using the milestone anniversary as an occasion to connect youth with the cruise industry underscores APA N.V.'s community commitment. The celebration reflects Aruba's continued investment in both its port operations and its next generation of potential tourism and maritime professionals.

Aruba's teachers' union, SIMAR (Sindicato di Maestronan), reports that its members are approaching the start of the new school year with a sense of calm and stability. Mas Noticia visited the union to assess the current labor climate among teachers as the academic year opening draws near. According to SIMAR, there are no major unresolved tensions or disputes that would disrupt the beginning of classes. This stands in contrast to previous school years that have at times been marked by labor unrest or concerns over working conditions. The union's positive outlook suggests that negotiations or outstanding issues affecting teachers may currently be in a manageable state. The report is significant as smooth school openings depend heavily on teacher morale and the resolution of labor concerns ahead of time.
