Keeping the people of St. Maarten safe is our number one priority said Founder and President Ms. Nkosazana Esther Illis. This year's theme is “Because We Care”. VOICES Foundation will be honoring the different organizations that have been instrumental during COVID-19.
We would like to thank our vendors, local performers, and the general public for their sincere support each year in making VOICES Cultural Ancestral Emancipation Day Celebration a success. We are looking forward to 2021 when we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary at the Emilio Wilson Park together with the people of St. Maarten.
VOICES would like to acknowledge and extend condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We give deep gratitude and appreciation to all the Front Liners and Essential Workers, who have selflessly and tirelessly put their lives on the line to make sure that the people of St. Maarten were kept safe. Words alone cannot express our profound gratitude said Ms. Illis.
