It is very assuring to know that there are caring individuals and corporate citizens still around that we can call on to assist when needed,” Ms. van Putten noted. She went on to state her satisfaction that “students will receive a meal during the day…especially now, when things on the island have become increasingly difficult with the aftermath of hurricane Irma and then being hit by the global pandemic.”
Ms. Williams, Site Manager, Caribbean Lottery also reaffirmed her pleasure in responding to the various calls for support. “Caribbean Lottery has gladly supported both the Now You Know Breakfast program and the Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunrise over the years. In times like these, some charitable initiatives rely on responsible corporate social intervention to ‘get off the ground’ or to be sustained so that people who are in need can get assistance,” Ms. Williams stated.
