It's political off-season, so what I'm doing is updating and adding to the blogsite. I have also been spending a lot of time speaking with St Maarten historians, to get a deeper perspective of St Maarten.
I am currently networking and working with other St Maarteners, who are also interested in seeing St Maarten, it's history, and it's culture uploaded in its entirety online.
Photographs, documents and video, cassettes etc. are being scanned, converted, digitalized and uploaded to the web and onto various sites that have been created e.g. BiographyStMaarten.com, will be dedicated to St Maarteners, Antillians, and Caribbean Natives whose births have made a significant impact on St Maarten and the Caribbean. The site is not just about current and historical figures who have done great things, but also those who have done not so great things.
It's monumental work, in most part because there is actually comparatively very little online about St Maarten and its true history and culture.
Click on St Maarten/ St Martin anywhere on the web, and you will get a resort hotel promoting itself, or some horrific crime.
Anyone, anywhere in the world should be able to Google St Maarten Indigenous, St Maarten Culture, Soualiga, etc. and get the FULL story.
We have already started the associated social sites on Facebook, so look forward to your invite, to join us, and if you can provide us with facts and info about St Maarten.
We are very interested in speaking with older St Maarteners, the ones that used coal in their irons on Sundays to iron their clothes, and cooked outdoors
using a coalkeel.
We are also diligently adding to our newly created "St Maarten" social networking sites such as Mefeedia, Fark and Twitter.
