Since December, the CNMI Youth Affairs Office has been spending their Tuesdays and Thursdays of every week to make sure that beaches and parks are clean and safe for all, especially the youth. <\/p>\n

Over 20 of their staff have collectively cleaned up some 20 beaches on Saipan, including Wing Beach and Tanapag Beach in the North; Micro Beach, 13 Fisherman, and along Beach Road in Central Saipan; and Coral Ocean Point, Pakpak Beach, Ladder Beach, and Obyan Beach in the south.<\/p>\n

Youth Affairs Office special assistant Ali Ogo told Saipan Tribune that the beautification project was requested and established by Gov. Ralph DLG Torres, in partnership with Public Works Secretary James Ada, to target beaches and playgrounds to ensure that children and their families have a safe and clean environment to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that we want to prioritize. It\u2019s a special request coming from the governor; his primary focus is the youth in general,\u201d Ogo said. <\/p>\n

Under the Office of the Governor, the Youth Affairs Office\u2019s mission is to cater to the youth and community in general, focusing on establishing developmental programs and activities for both the children in the community and their families.<\/p>\n

The project is called \u201cPara I lina\u2019la\u2019 I famagu\u2019on-ta yan I komunidat-ta projectPara I lina\u2019la\u2019 I famagu\u2019on-ta yan I komunidat-ta project,\u201d which in English translates to \u201clife of the children and the youth, and for our community,\u201d according to Youth Affairs representative Randall Pangelinan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really to give the sense to the children that they are very important to us, and we must try to always keep our environment clean for them. The beach is somewhere for them to go to on the weekends, and [we need to] make sure that it\u2019s clean,\u201d Pangelinan said.<\/p>\n
