PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Development Fund (SMDF) recently took a decision to continue to support the No Kidding with Our Kids Foundation – After School Activities (ASA) Program.
SMDF Director, Mr. Keith Franca stated: “No Kidding with our Kids Foundation was amongst the first foundations to approach the SMDF for funding in 2013. The Foundation received funding for the year 2011/2012 from AMFO and has received funding from AMFO in previous years. The No Kidding with Our Kids Foundation is outstanding in the quality of reporting delivered to SMDF on a monthly basis. The reactions from parents over the years point to a balanced program of afternoon school activities with dedicated leaders. Fiscal year 2016 will be the fourth consecutive year that SMDF has funded the No Kidding with Our Kids Foundation. We are satisfied with the excellent leadership displayed by the Director, Mrs. Merlyn Schaminee - Miguel.”
On hand to sign the relevant funding terms and conditions with the SMDF Director, were Mr. Paul Boetekees (President) and Mr. Jimmy Challenger (Board Member) of the No Kidding with Our Kids Foundation.
