Her initiative to build a better community in Aruba
ZOEY'S ARK

Founder of Luna Foundation;
Aruba's sanctuary for dogs

Seeing how much suffering their is on my island inspired me to start my own foundation and focus on educating the youngsters on how to care for their animals. Biggest set back is changing the mind set of our people.

Biggest quality should be being compassionate and not being focused only on self growth but also on what others need to have a better life.

Loving mom and devoted wife. Level headed female that wants to make a difference for the less fortunate on our island. Loves to help others with the hope that with some guidance they can make their own decisions and make better choices in life. Help the helpless!

Seeing myself through my son's eyes is my inspiration. Seeing how proud he is of his mom inspires me to do better. My actions should be enough to inspire others. I believe in leading by example.

I believe in leading by example.

WHAT MAKES YOU A WOMAN WHO INSPIRES?

Showing love to all living creatures. That shows the world what’s in your heart.

BALANCE

My family is my balance. They keep me grounded and focused at all times.

PROUD ACHIEVEMENT

The fact that my foundation has Aruba's only dog sanctuary. Where we have many abused and neglected animal.

Be honest and always show compassion. Do good and good will always go your way.

Never lose focus. Believe in yourself. Sit back and take a moment to reconnect with your inner self. Be true to yourself.

Our younger generation females need inspirators to look up to. Our children are often from broken homes and need to know and see that no matter where they come from they too can achieve greatness.

AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT OF INSPIRATION
By going to schools and educating the youngsters I see and experience how they help others and are proud of it. Even if we change one mind it will make a big difference in our world.

BARRIER

It’s a mindset. If they don’t believe they can do it they won’t make it.

SOLIDARITY

Together we are stronger. We need to stop fighting each other and join forces to inspire others.lead by example.

ANOTHER WOMAN WHO INSPIRES YOU

Mother Theresa. Because she showed loved and lived in peace.

By sharing our achievements with them and explaining to them what life is truly like. Children follow what they see, not just what they hear.
