On Saturday, Aug. 15, the Rotary Club of Saipan distributed 300 McDonald’s Happy Meals to shelters in Tanapag, Kagman, and the Man’amko Center. Also, Dickerson & Quinn donated Peanut Butter Crackers and fruit snacks, while Micronesia Brokers handed out Colgate toothpaste and Lifebuoy body soap.
“It’s about the children! To see them smiling means a lot to me,” said club president Curtis Dancoe. “The support of humanitarian assistance that we are receiving is at an international level, with clubs from Guam, Japan and Virginia making subscriptions and contributions to fulfill the needs of the victims who suffered a loss when Typhoon Soudelor hit our islands.”
Rotarians visited the shelter to hand out goodies and sing songs to residents.
