Last week, then Acting Governor David M. Apatang proclaimed the month of June as “CNMI Children Matter Month” at the Governor Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe.
Joining the Acting were Acting Secretary of Community and Cultural Affairs Vivian T. Sablan, Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Acting Administrator Genevieve Deleon Guerrero, Congressman TJ Manglona, who was the tribute speaker, and partnering childcare and children-focused agencies.
Acting Governor Apatang encouraged all residents to come together in fostering an environment that promotes the growth, development, and well-being of our children. The proclamation affirms the commitment to the children of the CNMI to ensure they are protected and that we strive to be a society that cherishes and uplifts every child.
