PHILIPSBURG-The fifth annual K1 Britannia Christmas Angels programme with the intention to support vulnerable groups and local organisations during this time of the year will kick off this Friday.
The programme has seen the local community come out year after year to make Christmas special and memorable for a child, teenager or elderly person. This year K1 Britannia continues the tradition to spread compassion throughout the island of St. Maarten. The Christmas trees will be filled with hundreds of little angels which were all handmade with love by the programme’s recipients.
The angels represent a foster child, a Sister Basilia Centre client, White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation District Nursing client, a Mental Health Foundation client, a UJIMA member, a child at Player Development SXM, a Down Syndrome St. Maarten & Caribbean Foundation member or other underprivileged children who need some extra love this Christmas.
K1 Britannia Foundation and its volunteers will be at the Government Administration Building from Friday to Sunday, December 14-16, from 9:00am to 6:00pm. Persons can pass by, choose a special angel, buy a gift for the child or elder it represents, and in return get to keep the little angel as a gift from that person – a perfect ornament for their tree at home.
Over the past four years, thousands of gifts have been given to the most vulnerable of the community and individuals, families, and companies have been supportive and instrumental in the success of the programme thus far, according to K1 Britannia on Tuesday.
K1 Britannia focuses on a variety of charitable projects on the island. Its main projects over the last few years have been primarily focused on rehabilitating at-risk, vulnerable and troubled youth and helping children in foster care through a variety of programmes, including the annual Christmas Angels.
