St. Maarten is well-represented at Oranje Fonds’ Apples of Orange (Appeltjes van Oranje) Regional Qualifying Round which was held in Curaçao. Four organisations representing St. Maarten were among nine chosen during this round. In the 17-year history of the event, this is the first time St. Maarten has had four organizations selected for the regional round.
