PHILIPSBURG:--- The Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunrise with a team of volunteers from different groups came together in Philipsburg over the past weekend to assist the Oranje School with the painting of the exterior walls of the school.
Paint and supplies were provided by the Ministry of Education and the work started in September when teachers, students, parents and persons from the different offices of the Ministry of Education embarked on painting the institution; however, since then the work came to a standstill, stated Principal of the school, Sonia Parrotte-Warner. With no other solution in hand the Principal approached the club for their assistance and in no time President of the Club Angela Gordon recruited a team of over 65 persons to assist, namely the Security Team from the American University of the Caribbean (AUC), Sheriff Security, the Jamaican Association, members of the Rotary Club of Anguilla and the Rotary Sunrise members.
President Angela Gordon stated "When we are called upon to execute projects in the community, we are always happy to do so".
Once again the Club would like to thanked all persons who volunteered their time to make this project a reality and are happy to lend a helping hand when called on to assist for the betterment of our community.
The Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunrise meets at Air Lekkerbek Restaurant every Tuesday mornings at 7:00am for fellowship and breakfast.
