Fundacion Salud Mental Aruba – Respaldo has announced the 20 participants selected to compete in the second edition of 'Let's Sing for Mental Health,' a singing competition organized in honor of World Mental Health Day, observed annually on October 10. The foundation held a draw to determine the performance order for the event, adding a fair and transparent element to the competition's structure.

The event uses the power of music and public performance to spotlight the importance of mental well-being in Aruba.

The Aruban government has removed eleven abandoned vehicles from public roads as part of an ongoing enforcement campaign to keep neighborhoods clean and safe. The initiative places emphasis on vehicle owner responsibility, reminding residents that leaving cars on public streets is not only an eyesore but a civic violation. Authorities are targeting abandoned vehicles across various neighborhoods island-wide. The campaign reflects the government's broader commitment to maintaining public spaces and improving the quality of life in residential areas. Officials are urging vehicle owners to properly dispose of or store non-operational vehicles to avoid penalties. The removal of eleven vehicles marks a continued push rather than a one-time action, signaling sustained enforcement going forward.
