On 31 October 2011, 12 volunteers from the 429th Expeditionary Operations Squadron, located at the U.S. Forward Operating Location (USFOL), donated time to support the International School of Curaçao.
Volunteers joined efforts with the school parent teacher association to sponsor the annual Halloween community festival. They sold popcorn, soda and assisted with set-up and tear-down. "Thanks to your support we had an amazing event!" said Sylvia van Uden, President of the International School Parent Teacher Association. "This was the most fun I have had at a community project on the island," said one USFOL volunteer. USFOL personnel regularly donate their time to working with children, as well as other community projects, in Curaçao.
