Sint Maarten PM urges citizens to spread hope this Christmas
Sint Marteeners are being encouraged this Christmas to 'lend a hand' in the spirit of volunteerism, to spread hope and cheer. Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs has delivered a Christmas message of hope this year, stating Christmas season 2021 sees Sint Maarten moving away from the uncertainty in 2021 towards the opportunities for growth and prosperity in 2022.
Jacobs says: "Let's continue to show up for each other and gift what we really can't put a price on 'our time'. I also implore everyone to continue in this same vein all year round, as we genuinely continue to build a great nation."
The prime minister welcomed those present and home for Christmas in Sint Maarten and said that she prays for those who were unable to be home for Christmas and hopes that the spirit of a S'Maatin Christmas finds and remains with them.
In her message, she also spoke to those students who could not make it home for this Christmas.
Jacobs says: "Whilst you continue to pursue your dreams, I send you special blessings for the holidays. We recognize your commitment and sacrifice towards the pursuit of your dreams, and I hope that love surrounds you this Christmas."
The prime minister says those who have travelled abroad for medical intervention remain in her thoughts and prayers, and those who may be facing the loss of loved ones, family and friends, should know that they are not alone and that this too shall pass.
Jacobs says as friends and family gather this year in the spirit of Christmas, also remember that COVID-19 is still a threat, and they must celebrate safely.
