EP125:Marlene Purcell is helping to make sure No Child Goes Hungry in Aruba
Hey everyone! We’re back for the latest episode of This Week in Aruba which will cover the events in the island from Tuesday, April 3rd to Sunday, April 8th.
Technically it should have started at Monday, April 2nd, but due to Easter weekend I had to catch up on family happenings which caused the delay in production. As much as I’d love to keep things always on schedule, family comes first, so I apologize for any inconveniences.

Moving on, I like to give shoutouts every week, and this week’s shoutout goes to Marlene Scherrenburg, a resident of Aruba and also one of the people I always look forward to visiting in the island. She knows everything there is to know about the Aruba culinary scene. To listen to her episode on One Happy Podcast, hit up this link: http://onehappypodcast.com/ep32/
Now let’s head over to the events. Easter season is a laidback time in the island, so events are a little sparse. Nevertheless, it’s a great time to bond with the family or friends and loved ones.
