Philipsburg: --- President of the Peridot Foundation Gracita Arrindell is calling on the community of St. Maarten/ St. Martin to come out and attend a very interesting informative evening with their guest speaker Ms. Varshine Singh, former first lady of the Republic of Guyana. Singh is also the founder of Kidsfirstfund.com.
The event is scheduled to be held on Saturday July 4th at the Philipsburg Community Center, beginning at 7:30pm.
Singh would be speaking about the effects of Domestic Violence and how to eradicate it. The former first lady is said to be a victim of domestic violence and abuse but despite that she is a very successful woman who strives to help sick children whose parents cannot afford proper medical care.
She would also be visiting the island of Statia where she would be conducting lectures.
The Peridot Foundation is also looking to hold a fundraising event sometime between July 5th and July 8th before Singh leaves St. Maarten.
