PHILIPSBURG--The Rotary Club of St. Maarten-Mid Isle has donated funds to purchase school uniforms for various students on the island.
The donation was made to the Foundation Judicial Institutes St. Maarten after its Acting Director, Cynthia Filemon-Clarke, approached the club for help. Filemon-Clarke expressed concern over the lack of necessary apparel to prepare students for the new school year, especially those in foster care who often face numerous and challenging obstacles.
In response to Rotary International’s theme for this year, “Create Hope in the World,” the Mid Isle President, Yvette Hart, and her club purchased a gift certificate valued at 28 school uniforms from one of the leading uniform establishments on the island. The donation is part of Rotary’s long history of helping those in need, including children and youth in foster care on St. Maarten, Filemon-Clarke stated.
