Propst urges public to help clean Dandan this Saturday
Rep. Edwin K. Propst (Ind-Saipan) is urging the community to take part in a cleanup of the Dandan area with other typhoon recovery relief groups this Saturday at 9am.
The Dandan cleanup is set on Saturday with two shifts: from 9am to 12 pm and 1pm to 4pm. Volunteers are scheduled to meet at the Dandan ball ield. Lunch will be provided.
Propst—a Precinct 1 lawmaker—told Saipan Tribune that the Department of Public Works will be assisting with trucks and backhoes, and volunteers will be collecting tin, wood, and green waste.
Propst said his office and the office of Rep. Roman Benavente will be involved in the cleanup.
Other organizations that will take part in the cleanup include Americorps, United 4 Saipan, and CNMI C.A.R.E.
CARE is focusing right now on debris cleanup, repair, and rebuilding of homes.
CARE was formed in August and is composed of non-profit, private, faith-based and other organizations to address long-term recovery as well as unmet needs of the community.
Interested volunteers can call C.A.R.E’s executive director Jenny Hegland with questions at 484-4653.
Propst is also free to answer questions and may be reached at 287-7883.
