The sports equipment included soccer balls, volleyballs, basketballs, basketball hoops, and other sports equipment.

The donation was made as part of a bigger campaign to promote child abuse and neglect prevention and to encourage physical fitness among the youth.

KagES Student Council president Kiana Camacho, 5th grade, said she felt glad and happy that DYS donated the sports equipment.

KagES STUCO vice president Jordan Towai, 5th grade, echoed Camacho’s sentiment.

“I am glad they brought the equipment because we don’t have the basketball equipment and we will start using the equipment soon,” Towai said.

Rep. Antonio R. Agulto (Ind-Saipan) said that students from Kagman have been calling his office to ask for sports equipment for their schools.

“We committed an agency where they have this grant funding for the kids and I am glad that DYS has done this for the students,” Agulto said.

DYS administrator Vivian Sablan said that DYS has been providing sports equipment as an additional outreach.

“We wanted to reach out to the students for both outreach and a second priority by providing them equipment to promote heath and physical fitness,” Sablan said.

KagES staff presented Agulto with a certificate of appreciation and thanked DCCA-DYS for thinking of their school.
