A total of $49,000 (£25,000) has been donated by the US financial
services company Bridge Capital to schools and community organizations
on Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in
the western Pacific.
The donations include $18,000 for textbooks and supplies for public high schools and middle schools.
John Baldwin, one of the owners of the company, which has just
established its headquarters on Saipan, said: ‘We believe in being good
corporate neighbours. We’re delighted to be here in the CNMI and want
to help the community service organizations to do their important work.
These donations will just be the first of many to come.’
