Ten of the best miniature cities were presented to the public at an exhibition that was organized by  Stichting Gebouwd Erfgoed Suriname (SGES.

Other schools also received recognition for their efforts and support to this project. The exhibition was financed by the Dutch embassy.  Cultuur Deputy Director Clifton Braam applauded the initiative.  Rachel Deekman, acting director at SGES, explained that this project is part of a bigger heritage education program. “It is not just about restoration but also about the public’s awareness and culture education,” said Deekman.
