GREAT BAY, St. Maarten (Wednesday, August 8, 2012)- In Friday’s interview held with director of the Victorious Living Foundation, Erna Mae Francis, about her experience enrolling in CEOSPACE, she took the opportunity to appeal to the public to recognize that in order for us to move forward, we have to take our young people seriously. “I’ve had to suspend our work temporarily, because I cannot any longer continue to have staff working and not being paid”. “It has been 10 years since the Victorious Living Foundation exist, and we have done some tremendous work, but yet I recognize that as a community we are really not as serious about taking charge of our family life, and developing young people” she said. “I have seen struggles, and experienced struggles not only with our foundation, but other foundations as well. She said that people give lip service, but forget what has been said.
