Garapan Elementary
The entire student body of Garapan Elementary School participated in today's Island Wide Cleanup. The students cleaned up their campus.Great work!
Two more groups
60 students and 20 parents from Saipan International School cleaned up Obyan Beach from 8:30 - 9:30 this morning.
Thanks for all your hard work today, SIS!******
Friends of the Mariana Islands was out this morning, too!
These guys are one of our most consistent, hardest working volunteer groups. You guys are the best! Thank you!FMI has more pictures on their blog.
First Photos
Over 4000 people are expected to hit the streets of Saipan today to Beautify the CNMI. The first person to send in their pictures was Ken Kramer. This is his son Alexander Kramer standing next to the litter he picked up in Gualo Rai.
The Laolao Bay Golf Resort team were the second group to get their photos in. Here they are standing next to their impressive pile of trash.Thanks to everyone who participated today!
Thank You NTT Docomo for Donating this Map
Thanks to Beautify CNMI! partner and 2009 Island-Wide Cleanup Sponsor NTT Dococo for this wonderful map which shows the sites adopted by various private businesses, schools, government agencies, families, et al. to clean today and, we hope, in the future.
If anyone wants to take a look at this map, stop by DEQ and ask for Joe Kaipat.

Cleanup day is almost here
Just a few more hours before the troops hit the ground. I submitted the following press release, hopefully in time for Friday's papers. Our tally going into tomorrow is 4018 volunteers.
Go us!
Go us!
Nearly 4000 ready to Beautify CNMI
4000 volunteers are set to hit the streets and beaches of Saipan tomorrow in what is expected to be the largest island-wide cleanup in Micronesian history.
“The support the community is showing us has been tremendous,” explained co-organizer Angelo Villagomez of Pew Environment Group. “We have businesses, government agencies, schools, and even families registered to participate.”
As of Thursday afternoon, 51 volunteer groups had adopted 48 sites around Saipan. According to Beautify CNMI volunteer Ken Kramer, “The cleanup we organized in 2006 had 32 volunteer groups. This one is nearly double the size.”
Deputy Secretary of Labor and Beautify CNMI founder Cinta Kaipat had a reminder for all participants, “Don’t forget to take before, during, and after pictures of your cleanups. We will post these on the Beautify CNMI blog and the two groups with the largest number of volunteers and most trash collected will win $100 each. We’ll use the photos submitted to determine the winners.”
Division of Environmental Quality, Rotary Club of Saipan, Marianas Visitors Authority (MVA), and Marianas Tourism Education Council are the co-organizers of the island-wide cleanup. Supplies were donated by MVA and McDonald’s.
For more information on the how to participate in the cleanup, contact Joe Kaipat at 664-8500 or Angelo Villagomez via Email at angelovillagomez@gmail.com. A list of all participants can be found by visiting http://beautifycnmi.blogspot.com.

Island Wide Cleanup in the News
Islandwide cleanup volunteers now over a thousand
BY RAQUEL BAGNOL - VARIETY NEWS STAFF
MORE than a thousand individuals have volunteered to join the second islandwide cleanup slated for April 17, 2009, and their number is still increasing.
Event co-organizer Angelo Villagomez said during last week’s Rotary Club of Saipan meeting at the Hyatt
Regency that 22 groups had already confirmed participation and 19 sites had been adopted for cleanups.
The volunteers are from businesses, government agencies, schools and organizations.
“We are inviting everyone to join us in this year’s islandwide cleanup. You can adopt a spot, either your favorite beach, a tourist attraction, or the road in front of your home, business, or office, or you can join another group at their cleanup,” Villagomez said.
He is optimistic the organizers can reach their goal of recruiting 5,000 volunteers for the cleanup.
As of yesterday, 1,201 volunteers had signed up.
Adopted sites include Beach Road from Afetnas to Koblerville, Garapan Fishing Base Complex, Coral Tree Avenue and Paseo de Marianas, Susupe area around Shirley’s including the Mt. Carmel Church and School area, 13 Fishermen Memorial, Laulau Beach dive spot, Micro Beach, Isa Drive to Botanical Garden, Laly 4 Beach, Chalan Kanoa, Garapan main streets, Kagman III, Phase IV, Manga Street, Beach Road from Rainbow Photo to Hard Rock, Garapan McDonald’s to Carolinian Utt, Middle Road, Garapan, Obyan Beach, Navy Hill Lighthouse, and Grand Hotel to Sugar Dock.
The co-organizers of the cleanup are the Division of Environmental Quality, the Rotary Club of Saipan, the Marianas Visitors Authority, and the Marianas Tourism Education Council.
Villagomez said MTEC is setting aside $900 for the Public School System to be divided among the top schools with the highest percentage of student turnout for the cleanup.
