Again this year, a lot of sponsors have accepted to help us and done their best to offer wonderful presents for the lottery. We will give more details about that in our next article.

Many VIPs have already committed themselves to take part in this event, either on the French side or also for the first time on the Dutch side.

This event will give us the opportunity to present the actions achieved in 2010 but also to explain our big projects such as the emergency 72 hours project which we have been working on for more than 2 years.

Willing to federate the different Red Cross, we will be very pleased to receive the Dutch Side and Anguilla Red Cross as well as the “PIRAC” (America-Caribbean Platform of intervention) who will explain how the the Red Cross can be efficiently involves in case of earthquakes, and also the representatives of the Overseas Management (DIROM).

Bear in mind that the funds raised during this event will exclusively serve St Martin and also enable the purchase of a bus for the aid stations in order to take the equipment and the first aid team on the spot, do patrols and go and help people in need in the street

The French Red Cross commits itself to help the most fragile people, however everyone and all must become actors in the event of a catastrophe. So let us act together for the benefit of our community.
