Douane Caribisch Nederland welcomes children for ‘Buki di Pret’ programme
During ‘Buki di Pret’, Douane Caribisch Nederland enthusiastically delivered three interactive presentations for children aged 8 to 12. The children were given a unique insight into the work of customs.
‘Buki di Pret’ is a well-known annual programme held during the school holidays, offering children a variety of fun activities.
The customs presentations were divided into a theoretical and a practical part. Several customs officers spoke about their daily tasks and responsibilities, followed by demonstrations of the tools and techniques they use in their work.
The children responded enthusiastically and asked sharp, interested questions. The practical demonstrations were particularly engaging, with the children actively taking part.
Douane Caribisch Nederland looks back with pride on this successful activity. The team found it especially valuable to inspire children and raise awareness of the importance of customs work within the Caribbean Netherlands.
