PHILIPSBURG:--- MP Angelique Romou delivers a pledge made to the seniors of the Home Away From Home Foundation some months ago and gifted them a brand-new TV for Christmas.
“This initiative or should I say pledge started when I visited the seniors at the Home Away From Home foundation in August and gifted them with free internet service at the center, courtesy of TELEM, in commemoration of World Seniors Day on August 26th. In discussion with the seniors, they seized the opportunity and explained to me that their television had been stolen and they really missed having their television there. I then pledged to them that I would do my utmost best to get them a television at the center so that they could continue to catch up on their news and local programs” stated MP Romou.
MP Romou sought public-private partnerships for this initiative and partnered with Blue Point and St. Maarten Concrete to purchase a 60-inch Television and TV Stand, in what she says was an early Christmas gift surprise for the seniors. MP Romou was met with smiles and applause as she rolled the brand-new television in during their Christmas celebrations.
“I would like to thank Blue Point and St. Maarten Concrete for teaming up with me on this wonderful gesture for the gems of our community- our seniors. This could not have come at a better time as the holidays is all about giving back and showing love and appreciation in our community. Seniors hold a dear place in my heart and I look forward to continuing contributing to our seniors just like they have contributed to us for so many years of their lives” MP Romou concluded.
