Philipsburg:--- As a truly sincere gesture of generosity, the students of the Interact Club of St. Dominic High School conducted a fundraising to support fellow students from the St. Maarten Archaeological Center (SIMARC), who are organizing a celebration of St. Maarten National Day of Trees this coming Sunday afternoon.
President of the Interact Club of St. Dominic, Ms. Dolly Miripuri, presented a check to the SIMARC President, Dr. Jay Haviser, to support the Tree Day activities of SIMARC. This fundraising was the initiative of Interact Club and SIMARC member, Mr. Suvir Pursnani, and it really highlights the importance of youth helping youth. Together with the Interact Club members, were their Rotary Club observer Mr. Jon Hart, and their teacher observer Ms. Lucas. This Sunday, March 22nd, from 3:30pm-4:30pm at Emilio Wilson Park, the Welgelegen Roundabout, the Pond fill parking at Philipsburg, and at the Simpson Bay Police Station, will be simultaneous tree-plantings with the entire public invited to help make St. Maarten a more beautiful place. This is a cooperative project of SIMARC, the Rotaract Club, and the St. Maarten Tourist Bureau. By taking one hour of your time to come out and support our National Tree Day, it is an excellent way to show that our community and nature are growing together!
