(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Following through with the company\u2019s commitment to initiate participation in viable beautification projects throughout the islands, Best Sunshine International, Ltd. CSR directors Rita Chong and Geri Dela Cruz held a presentation before members of the Rotary Club of Saipan last Feb. 23 at the Giovani\u2019s restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Saipan. <\/p>\n<p>Delineating the accomplishments of the company\u2019s corporate social responsibility, Chong and Dela Cruz delivered to the non-profit organization the objectives and current projects involved in BSI\u2019s self-initiated Village Pride Project. Totaling 13 villages served henceforward, the CSR team also discussed the future goal of the project, which is to encourage the villagers to lead in each of their beautification efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing the CSR group encompassing the Village Pride Project, Dela Cruz says, \u201cWe are a group of home-grown individuals dedicated solely for the social good of the CNMI, passionate about bringing about the goal of the inafamaolek and tipiyeew pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chong adds, \u201cInafamaolek and tipiyeew are Chamorro and Refaluwasch words which means to take care of each other and to preserve unity. Our goal is to instill and preserve that pride as our corporate vision when we got together to create this department under Best Sunshine. We wanted to ensure that our mission reflects our island\u2019s culture, which works to serve, strengthen and build a better CNMI for all the world to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rotary Club of Saipan president Curtis Dancoe, says, \u201cI think to see this CSR group come together and what it represents in our community is something that we need. Certainly, we are really appreciative of all the services Best Sunshine provides in beautifying the community villages and we honor Best Sunshine\u2019s organization. We are synonymous in the same respect on what the Rotary does in the community and we hope we can work on some projects together in the future. I\u2019ve seen what Best Sunshine\u2019s CSR team is doing whenever I\u2019m driving around the island. We rely a lot on our government to do these types of improvement, but to see it come from a private company such as Best Sunshine shows how they\u2019re taking a lot of pride and care in our community. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following through with the company\u2019s commitment to initiate participation in viable beautification projects throughout the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":221644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1707,8034,5738,6990],"class_list":["post-221631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-best-sunshine-international","tag-csr","tag-curtis-dancoe","tag-geri-dela-cruz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221631","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\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
