The Integrity Chamber has launched a new colouring book aimed at introducing Sint Maarten’s youngest students to the values of honesty, fairness, and kindness.

Titled “Ivan the Iguana,” the book uses age-appropriate illustrations and activities to help children understand integrity in a fun, engaging way. It will be distributed to schools across the island as part of the Chamber’s ongoing effort to promote ethical awareness.

Director Charna Pompier presented the first copy to Minister of Education Melissa Gumbs on October 9, 2025, highlighting the Ministry’s vital role in shaping future generations.

“This initiative encourages children to see integrity as a way of life from an early age,” said Pompier. The Chamber plans to expand similar educational outreach programs to strengthen the culture of integrity across the community.
