PHILIPSBURG:— The Sint Maarten LIONS Club presented the young students of the Prins Willem Alexander School in Belvedere and the All Children Education School (A.C.E) on Union Road Cole Bay with facemasks and pencil cases on International Youth Day, which was celebrated yesterday, August 12th.
One-hundred and fifty facemasks were given to the Club by the Hon. Minister of VSA, Omar Ottley, in June of this year, and the Club immediately decided to present them to school-going children at the start of the new academic year. The masks are smaller in size, offer more breathability, and are aimed at being used by the youth. Another fifty masks will be gifted to children of an after-school program later this month.
Mrs. Claire Elschot accepted the donation on behalf of the Principal and staff of the A.C.E. School thanked the Lions for their kind gesture and pledged to use them for the benefit of the students.
The Sint Maarten LIONS Club also posted a message of empowerment to our youth via its Facebook and Instagram pages. The activities of the Club can be followed on Facebook at facebook.com/stmaartenlionsclub and on Instagram @sxmlionsclub. Donations to the club’s community projects can also be given via the above-mentioned Facebook page.
