Dear Queenie,
A few years ago when I was younger, I heard my neighbor who is my sister’s friend talking about a Youth Summit. That it is some kind of meeting where young people can go and voice their opinions. I understood from the radio that one would be held during the mid-term break.
Now that I am older and my sister and her friend are away studying I would like to know about this Youth Summit. Queenie, do you know anything about Youth Summits? I didn’t get any information at school as yet. I have many questions, but I would like to know what it is all about.
Queenie, can you please tell me where to go and what to do in order to get involved? Thanks in advance for your help.—An alert mind
Dear Alert Mind,
As an alert mind, you should be reading the entire newspaper every day, not just my column, to keep up with what is going on in St. Maarten and in the outside world. If you had been doing so, you would not have to ask me these questions, as The Daily Herald has published many articles about the Youth Summit.
The Youth Summit is organised by the Social Cultural Department in collaboration with the youth officer affiliated with the Support Netherlands Antilles Youth Development Programme.
For more information about it, you can contact the St. Maarten Youth Council Association.
And make it a habit to read the newspaper regularly. It’s not just for adults, you know.
