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. Many live in the less well developed sections of SXM and so far little information about their health and safety has reached the outside world.
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.

You can listen to the interview (in Dutch) here.
