The musical tribute paid by members of Isidore York Steel Pan Orchestra was well-received by the elderly residents of Belvedere.
Belvedere, St. Maarten - On the occasion of International Day of Older Persons 2021, last Friday, St. Maarten Housing Development Foundation (SMHDF) paid a musical tribute to its senior tenants at the Red Cross Seniors Home in Belvedere.
The tribute was performed by two talented musicians of the Isidore York Steel Pan Orchestra. SMHDF staff read poetry and each senior received a surprise treat.
“It was our distinct honour and pleasure to recognise the senior treasures in our properties and our communities in St. Maarten, for the abundance of life experience that they have lived and can share with all of us,” said SMHDF General Director Helen Salomons. “Seniors have taught us how to embrace change and how to take on life’s many challenges head-on and without complaint.”
SMHDF General Director Helen Salomons addressed seniors at the Red Cross Seniors Home in Belvedere on Friday.
Quite a number of elderly persons are residing as independent tenants at the Red Cross residences in Belvedere, where they enjoy the company of other seniors in a safe environment.
