This week Friday May 27 at 6pm and on Saturday May 28 at 8pm we will see and hear on Channel 15 of the St Maarten Cable TV the participants at this first seminar of the SMSPA. These participants have discussed in working groups about the information that was shared during the seminar concerning the income of the seniors in Sint Maarten and about how to improve the pensions situation for the elderly in Sint Maarten. Every group reported what were their thoughts, conclusions and suggestions to improve the pension income for the seniors in Sint Maarten.
If you want to know how the participants thought about these issues and you want to form your own opinion about what should be done to improve the old age pensions in country Sint Maarten, than you must watch this Episode 4: 1st Day Workshop Conclusions.
