" Astronomy for Everyone" (“La astronomía accessible para todos”) is the motto for the IYA2009 (International Year of Astronomy) in Puerto Rico. During the 2009 the “Starry Messengers”, a group of volunteer college level students which where trained in 2008 during a workshop at the Arecibo Observatoy; have been working with the collaboration of different professionals in the area of Astronomy in order to educate and entertain the whole community. We have organized different activities for people of all ages completely free of cost. Some of the activities include visits to schools, exhibitions of images from the FETTU collection, presentation of the Rover of Mars, exhibitions adapted to Braille for blind people, and invited guest such as the Puertorrican Astronaut Joseph Acaba. The “Starry Messengers” have done a lot of work for the community but we have gain a lot more that what has been given. The “Starry Messengers” also volunteered during the 41st DPS (Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society) Meeting on October 2009 in Puerto Rico. This poster presents some of the activities that we have organized and participated throughout the year.
