Orco Bank Sponsors Kolegio Sur Herman Joseph Students for Bayena i Dolfein Marine Education Program

Orco Bank is proud to have sponsored two classes from Kolegio Sur Herman Joseph (e.g. “speciaal funderend onderwijs” (SFO) and “Zeer Moeilijk Lerende Kinderen” (ZMLK)) as part of Dolphin Academy Curaçao’s Bayena i Dolfein program. This initiative offers local students a unique opportunity to learn about marine life and conservation while experiencing the magic of dolphins up close.

The students participated in an engaging educational session, received interactive materials, and enjoyed a special visit to Dolphin Academy and the Curaçao Sea Aquarium. This experience included a dolphin masterclass, a training demonstration, and even a hands-on encounter with the dolphins—an unforgettable experience for the children.

“At Orco Bank, we believe in the power of education and the importance of hands-on learning experiences,” said Vanessa Chong, Marketing Officer at Orco Bank. “We are delighted to support the Bayena i Dolfein program and provide these students with an opportunity to connect with marine life in a meaningful way. Seeing their excitement and curiosity firsthand reaffirms our commitment to giving back to the community and investing in the future of our youth.”

The school expressed immense gratitude for this opportunity, emphasizing the impact it had on the students. A representative from Kolegio Sur Herman Joseph shared, “For many of our students, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This program not only educated them about marine conservation but also created lasting memories. We deeply appreciate Orco Bank’s generosity in making this possible.”

Dolphin Academy Curaçao has been organizing the Bayena i Dolfein program since 2005, reaching thousands of students across the island. With the support of local businesses like Orco Bank, the program continues to expand, inspiring the next generation to appreciate and protect Curaçao’s marine ecosystems.
