PHILIPSBURG:--- On Sunday 11th of August, 2019 The St. Maarten South Leo Club collaborated with The Fundashon Korsow Uni to in organizing a "Fresh & Cool" Back to School project. The project entailed providing backpacks filled with school supplies and give hairdos and haircuts to boys & girls between the ages of 6 to 12 at the St. Martin of Tours Parish hall in Philipsburg.
