We do have a big project coming up and this would definitely help many individuals. We\u2019re very excited,\u201d Torres said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very grateful. The foundation focuses to help rebuild the CNMI with the road-to-recovery campaign. This donation is definitely something that could help us, help the community. It\u2019s all going back to the community,\u201d foundation vice president Geri Delacruz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBest Sunshine has been really working hard through the diligent work of a lot of people to help out the residents of Saipan to recover from the typhoon as much as possible. There have been a lot of different causes that have really been worthwhile and we\u2019re very proud to be associated with and this is obviously one of them,\u201d Harkness said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the foundation, they are still planning for the upcoming project but that it would focus on rebuilding the homes destroyed in the typhoon. They are thinking of providing vouchers for the purchase of construction materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concentration is definitely on construction materials,\u201d Delacruz said.<\/p>\n<p>BSI said they are still looking for other ways to help the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to look at what makes sense for the community for us to be involved in,\u201d Harkness said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Sunshine International Ltd. has donated $20,000 to the Lady Diann Foundation to help in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":210867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1311,7151,7152,7153],"class_list":["post-210866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-bsi","tag-geri-delacruz","tag-lady-diann-foundation","tag-matt-harkness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
