PHILIPSBURG:--- Member of Parliament Angelique Romou is extremely proud of athlete Keacy Carty for being the first St. Maartener to be picked for the West Indies Cricket Team. Keacy Carty has been playing cricket since a very young age and has been making strides for his Country St. Maarten ever since. “It is no secret that our country is home to talented youth that have the potential to make it far internationally. We look around us every day and see skilled athletes, deejays, rappers, singers, poets etc. It is important for us to continue to recognize and motivate them to push their talents to their full potential. Besides that, it is essential that we facilitate them with the tools that they need to excel on the highest scale possible”, said MP Romou.
In February 2021, MP Romou had the honor of presenting Keacy Carty with an Award of Excellence, the very first award of the monthly artist and athlete recognition program done in collaboration with the St. Martin Promoting Young Ambassadors Foundation. An initiative that has since recognized dozens of talented youngsters since its inception in February 2021. The MP stated that she is elated to see that Keacy is living up to that title and hopes that he serves as an inspiration to the upcoming generation.
“Keacy the people of St. Maarten are extremely proud to call you one of our own. Continue to strive for excellence while living your dream. Congratulations!”, MP Romou concluded.
