  • Assembling school supplies and art materials in backpacks for donation to students whose academic success is threatened by poverty;

  • Designing and creating greetings and birthday cards for children in a local pediatric healthcare facility or children’s organization.

Preserving the Pack

Donkeys have roamed and worked Aruba’s pristine beaches and desert landscape for the last 500 years, but populations have dwindled in recent decades. Group guests can volunteer at Bringamosa’s Donkey Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and protecting these beloved Aruban animals. Feed and play with these intelligent and engaging animals that helped build the Aruban economy as the island’s main form of transportation in centuries past.

Please contact your meetings and special events professional for details on how Impact Experiences can be matched to your group.

Appropriate for interactive discussions and note-taking sessions for fewer than 25 people. Many hotels have elegant "boardrooms" for 10 to 20 people, equipped with full audiovisual capabilities, a writing board, cork board and a flip chart.
E-Shape, U-Shape and T-Shape
Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.
Theater
Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.
Reception
Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.
Schoolroom or Classroom
The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. Requires a relatively large room. Tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.
