I was born in Curacao many years ago but left at a very young age to go live in Holland. For the last 23 years I have been living in Florida. Regardless, I have alaways kept up with the culture and to this day speak fluent Papiamentu. I’m glad I did because I can now truly say that I’m still a part of it. I’m very proud of these kids!!! Hoping for a big win against Japan tonight!!!

Wow, Maria, we’re jealous! You see, we already go to Williamsport and have fallen in love with the Curacao kids. With that same idea going down there in 2010, I Googled my way to this article and your comment. Actually, our 9-year old came up with the idea . . . “…the boys would love the baseball and Mom and (sister) would love the beaches!” So, how did you do it — did you have to book anything special in advance (like tickets)?

We visited Curacao this summer for the Little League Caribbean Regionals. Curacao took first and second place.I enjoyed seeing these kids play, their discipline and the common demonstrations of affection between the kids and the kids and the coaches.

wow, I feel so proud being from Curaçao and all. I’d like to point out that the Curaçao comunity is extremely proud and supportive of its talents, whether its in sports or arts the whole island gets involved up to a point that it can be the topic of the day or even the week.
The Little leaguers are still thriving and the island stays proud.

Imma buy this book!
