IT&E, IT&E Athletes, IP&E, and Southern High School Clean Up Oleai Village IT&E and sister company IP&E had been preparing for September 25th's international event by coordinating food preparation, and gathering student support from the Saipan Southern High School (SSHS), as the school has a continued partnership with IT&E for the Marianas March Against Cancer. Everyone took charge of various tasks including picking up trash bags, moving coolers, ordering tables and food to treat its volunteers, at the clean-up and making sure that all volunteers would at least be able to retire to an iced beverage and refreshments after cleaning up Oleai Grill to MVA on Beach Road. As if the amount of volunteers wasn't enough to satisfy, students of SSHS volunteers did not stop at cleaning up just the beach, but proceeded to clean up the Oleai neighborhood as well. IT&E said that they were grateful to all the volunteers for their support and assistance in participating in the 2010 International Coastal Clean Up Day. IT&E said they were overwhelmed by the turnout of 113 volunteers. IT&E adopted it's first recycling bin with MINA in July, then adopted a second bin with IP&E in September both located at the Ada Gymnasium. IT&E's Marketing Coordinator Nola Hix stated in a press release that "We are proud to be apart of MINA's Program...we hope the availability of public bins will help push the practice and need for the people in the CNMI to dispose of their trash properly. Recycling at your nearest convenience is a start." MINA would like to thank IT&E, IT&E Athletes, IP&E, and Saipan Southern High School for helping to make the 2010 International Coastal Clean Up Day a success here in the Marianas and for contributing these photos to show the support they had at their clean-up site. MINA also thanks all other individuals and organizations for taking part in the clean up.
