PHILIPSBURG--- On Saturday, December 22, members the Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunset gathered at The New Start for Children Foundation and was welcomed with twenty-one smiling faces filled with joy and amazement when they saw dozens of Christmas presents coming their way.
The Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunset received a generous donation of toys and educational supplies from friends of Rotary who wanted to spread the joy of giving this Christmas season. The New Start for Children Foundation was selected because of the tireless efforts of Mrs. Sally and her husband in opening their home and providing care to numerous children in need.

Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin have been foster parents for more than 30 years and together have taken care of countless children with the support of government and many charitable organizations on the island.
“The Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunset is committed to improving the lives of children in our community and we wanted to spread some Christmas cheer to children who are less fortunate. We wanted them to feel special and loved for this Christmas season and most importantly, we wanted to show our appreciation to Mrs. Sally and her husband for their tireless efforts” – President Jaida stated.
The Rotary Club of St. Martin would like to wish Mrs. Sally and her husband along with the children currently in their care a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
