(Fahim Uddin)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Rotary Club of Saipan will be providing financial and manpower services to the Rotary Club of Tokyo-Haichio South after back-to-back severe flooding and an intense heat wave battered the western part of Japan.<\/p>\n<p>The local Rotary Club\u2019s president, Greg Borja, said he wants the organization to initially donate $1,000 to their sister club in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>He said he was recently contacted by Rotary Club of Tokyo-Haichio South president Yuzaburo Mogi, who appealed for help in behalf of the people affected by the recent flooding and the current heat wave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir club is doing okay but all Japanese Rotary clubs are basically trying to provide services to all those affected areas and throughout their country. Any support that we [extend] like financial or what not [will be appreciated]. There is going to be rebuilding involved from the floods and what not,\u201d he said during the Rotary Club of Saipan meeting last Tuesday at the Hyatt Regency Saipan. <\/p>\n<p>Borja said he wants to extend help to the Rotary Club of Tokyo-Haichio South since it donated $2,000 to the Rotary Club of Saipan after Typhoon Soudelor smashed the island in 2015 to assist in its recovery and restoration. <\/p>\n<p>Last June, heavy rain in western Japan created landslides and floods that reportedly killed 225 people while 13 are still missing. A current heat wave has also so far killed 77 more people and sending 30,000 of them to the hospital. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rotary Club of Saipan will be providing financial and manpower services to the Rotary&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":281419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[233,22197,67,261],"class_list":["post-281418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-hyatt-regency-saipan","tag-japanese-rotary","tag-people","tag-rotary-club"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281418","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\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
