A pupil making St Martin's day art Jordi Halfman was invited to the NOS radio show 'Met het oog op morgen', to share her worries about the children she works with on Sint Maarten.

During her fieldwork with Hope, Esmeralda and Brandon in a public school in Dutch Quarter, these children told her they did not have a passport. Unlike the Dutch and American citizens and other 'nationals' they do not have a nation-state elsewhere that is looking out for them.
