With a profound sense of #gratitude for her 5 year service and spiritual guidance we expressed last night, in a moving farewell service at Christchurch, our feelings for the great work our Methodist Reverend Nichola Barrett-Glasgow and her loving family did for #Aruba.
Let us hold our social-economic & political models in the fresh light of a new day and reflect on their benefits & shortcomings & make a commitment to be courageous in our determination to change what needs to changed for the benefit of our People and Countries. #SundayThoughts

Slowly but surely, energy storage is becoming cheaper. This development will fundamentally change consumer relationships with their electricity utilities.

Dear Prof @gregorvdb. It is an honor that you are willing to support the students in their noble initiative. Warm regards from @Aruba
A compliment for Legal Advice Centre (Tienda di Ley) that provides free legal advice for the #community. A great initiative by the Aruba University law students that form part of political active Young Professionals Platform (PHP). Win-win: for community & students’ legal skills.
On this bright new day, this Blessed Sunday, as we bow our heads in Prayer let us remember our elderly, often feeling lonely. Their hearts long for our love and attention. Reach out, share your caress, smile and love. You will replace loneliness with happiness #SundayThoughts
Success to the @TopDutchCom #solarpower racing team. It is this type of R & D at University level that leads to great innovation and advancement in #green technology. We have hosted the Dutch winning solar racing teams in the past in #Aruba. We invite TopDutch for an Aruba visit.
Out on the road!
The talents of the TopDutch Solar Racing Team started testing their solar car on public roads 💚
So far, so good! :)

Blessed Sunday with a #SundayMotivation: "We need to teach our children empathy and care and love and communication and social responsibility in preparation for adulthood". - Maya Soetoro-Ng -
In #Aruba we introduced a special green tariff of only 2% for #electriccars in comparison to 40/50% import duties levied on gasoline cars. This seemingly impressive incentive did not lead to high % of #electricvehicles on the market. Looking at best practices elsewhere to learn!
The facts behind the efficiency of electric vehicles have been hotly debated - so just how clean are these vehicles?
(Hint: they're definitely better than using fossil fuels!) 🚗⚡🚗⚡🚗
