We were accompanying kids from the 'Romerschool' from Willemstad during their sports class.

When asked what they would like to see on the screen, children responded that they mostly preferred to view news covering
sports, drawing, dogs and 'things from other countries'.

St. Eustatius and Saba will have their very own news show!
