The Alpha Battalion under the leadership of Roxiean Sanchez decided to take a different approach in performing community service on Saipan.
Sanchez said they want to help “beautify CNMI,” especially its tourist sites.
Alpha Battalion information officers Christine Falcon and Patholo Joab said the tourist spots on Saipan are very important.
“We should maintain and clean them so that many tourists and will come and visit the island,” they said.
Every semester, the JROTC cadets get to choose their service learning project, Sanchez said.
The cadets cleaned up the park from 9:30 until 11 a.m.
Sanchez said their school has been implementing the service learning project at different government facilities and private places like the zoo, the Aging Center and Managaha.
“Our mission is to help beautify Saipan,” she told Variety.
On Friday the Bravo and Delta Battalions will hold their community service in the Division of Custom area.
On June 2, the Charlie Battalion will have its service learning project at the Department of Public Safety.
Sanchez said the JROTC at Saipan Southern High School will hold a change of command ceremony today.
The commander, Cadet Lt. Col Kathlene Pagara, will be succeeded by Cadet Capt. Ruby Reyes.
