PHILIPSBURG:--- The Prime Minister of ST. Maarten the Honorable Sarah Wescot-Williams congratulated two outstanding young St. Maarteners over the weekend. The Prime Minister congratulated local film student Trevor Daniel and baseball player Denzel Richardson on their achievements. Trevor Daniel, who is a second year film student at the New York Film Academy, will be appearing n the off-Broadway play "Life is Short, Cherish Every Moment on Sunday the 19th of April. The play is about the negative choices adults often make and how the youth are impacted by those decisions. The play will feature themes centered on child abandonment, drugs and many decisions that impact urban communities and societies and how these influence the youth.
Denzel Richardson has received widespread acclaim recently due to him being the first local athlete to play in a Major league Baseball game as he started for the Colorado Rockies against the Seattle Mariners during a Spring Training Game.
Prime Minister Wescot stated that local youth, especially young men, should be encouraged by the two examples as to what can be achieved through dedicated hard work and perseverance; "I would like to congratulate these two young men, both Trevor and Denzel, for making St. Maarten proud. It is too often that our young men especially are painted in a too negative light and it is important that we highlight the achievements of two St. Maarteners that are leaving their mark on the world. I encourage you to stay committed, continue being an example and continue to make your country proud," commented Prime Minister Wescot-Williams.
