    The chilled water air-conditioning system at the studios was in bad shape. The roof mounted condenser unit was pretty much shot. We could only cool about half of the building at a time.Benny and Carl Phillips rescued a no longer needed condenser unit from the transmitter site back when Carl was here on vacation a couple months ago. Then Rich West came for two weeks to finish the wiring and to

    Colmenares Visit Bonaire 

    It was great to see Saturno and Maria Colmenares, who visited Bonaire recently, after being away for quite a few years now. Saturno is still fondly remembered by TWR's Spanish speaking listeners even after all this time. Pictured from left to right is Maria's nephew, Saturno and Maria.

    Pet of the week: Elizabeth, a very rare beauty 

    Elisabeth the cat, a rare beauty

    Elisabeth the cat, a rare beauty

    Jane Madden, one of the spokespersons from the Bonaire Animal Shelter’s cat cage residents, writes about our Pet of the Week, “Elizabeth.” “Elizabeth is a very rare beauty! Red and white female cats are quite uncommon… and Elizabeth carries her colors with regal bearing.

    She is only five months old but already has a strong and sturdy physique unlike most female cats and will be a beautiful adult queen. Her exceptional beauty is accentuated by amber eyes that are deep and soulful. Elizabeth has a gentle and loving demeanor and loves to be handled and carried…but bring out the toys and the royal robes are off and she’s a fun-loving kitten at play. She loves other cats, dogs but is perfectly happy with just human companionship.”

    The adoption fee for cats is NAƒ 95 and that includes tests for feline leukemia,shots, worming and even sterilization. You can be assured you’re getting a healthy and sociable pet when you adopt from our Shelter.

    Pelikaan School Pictures 

    Wilma, the principal of the Pelikaan school, graciously gave us a tour of their new school building the other day. It is both beautiful and functional. There is lots of room for their 185 students. Bright colors create a fun atmosphere. The classrooms are a lot bigger on the inside than they might appear from the outside. A new section was added to the building between the original back wall and

    Volunteer Queentje took care of the bar and the money - she did a great job

    Shelter Staff member, Greta Kooistra writes that the Animal Shelter Flea Market on Saturday, August 14, earned NAƒ 2.500 with the sale of books, household items and clothes. And NAƒ 168 was donated. All this money goes to help keep our Shelter open for homeless cats and dogs.

    Old friends met, new people made friends, the animals were delighted with all the attention and five dogs and five cats found loving homes so it was a  wonderful day for everyone!

    Thanks to all who participated and especially to all those volunteers who got all the hundreds and hundreds of items organized and together and managed the day!

    Church Kitchen and Nursery 

    I took these pictures almost a month ago. I'll have to get back and take some more because much progress has been made since then. This is the nursery area, and probably the temporary pastor's study, until the real study is added on the other side of the building. The kitchen area is on the right and the nursery is through the door on the left. I'm standing in the entrance to the

    New IBCB Building in Use 

    The new church building of the International Bible Church of Bonaire is still under construction, but the church youth have already held a couple events there. This night, a few weeks ago, was a going away party for Leila, who was heading to the States to begin college. Her father, Joe, was asked to bring some words of advise and wisdom for her and her friends. It wouldn't be a youth activity
