On May 18, eight high school students with a professional nautical maintenance baccalaureate and four young people from the Center Symphorien d'Insertion (CSI) in Quartier d'Orléans will fly away, accompanied, to Martinique to take part in the second edition of the Boat Show, the meeting of Caribbean boating professionals to be held from May 19 to 22, 2022.
The Club Nautique, organizer of the event, gathered these young people, their parents, the partners of the project whose budget is €15.000, the teaching staff and the press in the restaurant of the Lycée Professionnel Daniella Jeffry at the beginning of the week in order to present the program of this wonderful opportunity to discover the nautical trades, meet the professionals of the trade but also visit the island of Martinique. Each of the partners took the floor, thanking and congratulating each other for having succeeded in setting up such an operation dedicated to young people and their future in record time. Angèle Dormoy, president of the CCISM, confided to the assembly that she had been somewhat skeptical that the CCISM would be solicited.
Considering at first glance the Boat Show as an event reserved only for the rich, the president of the CCISM then realized the advantages that would be offered to young people to participate in an event of this scale, whether it be to open up to the other or be motivated to start your own boating-related business. The sine qua none condition for Angèle Dormoy before fully joining the project initiated by Bülent Gülay, president of the Club Nautique, was to integrate young people from Saint-Martin, also from the neighbourhoods. Consequently, twelve young people were selected according to criteria of merit, voluntarism and attendance. Eight from Daniella Jeffry Professional High School: Derwin Hunt, Christopher Bredy, Nélantonio Guzman, Kerby Jean-Baptiste, Ajani Tearr, Ronaldo Benjamin, Raylin Gomez, Julio Ramirez, and four young people from the CSI: Adrian Garcia, Roberto Warner, Merlando Beausol-Norville and only female representative, Raquel Eloy-Polo. In addition to the CCISM, note the strong participation of the Regional Academic Delegation for Youth, Engagement and Sports (DRAJES), represented by Marc Fabre, the Lion's Club Oualichi and of course, the Professional High School Daniella Jeffry and the Symphorien Center of Insertion. The twelve young people will leave on Wednesday May 18 with four guides including Nika Shillingford, coordinator of the Club Nautique, and Marie-Paule Rousseau of the CSI in the direction of Martinique. The program is busy between visits to the Boat Show, the discovery of the flower island with the Habitation Clément, the marina and the Marin shipyard, but also an introduction to rowing and kayaking in the mangroves at Robert. On the strength of this unique experience, the young people will return to Saint Martin on May 22. _VX
