The St Maarten chinese community foundation wanted to help those in greatest difficulty. Twenty-eight mini-markets in the French part are thus mobilized. Each establishment making a food donation (dry products).
The association asked the Collectivity to help it in this operation as well as the prefecture to issue a pass to the president who resides on the Dutch side. "Ada, a representative of the foundation, called me last Friday and we saw how we could organize the distributionSays Annick Petrus, Vice President of Social Affairs.
«We have contacted associations that know the most vulnerable people. Two structures per district will thus be responsible for distribution in the districts, distribution which should be spread over a fortnight"She says.
For now, the St Maarten Chinese community foundation gathers all of the foodstuffs in order to distribute them.
This morning, Annick Petrus wanted to bring together the merchants to thank them for their initiative. A similar operation has already been carried out in the Dutch part.
