That when we respect nature, nature in turn takes care of us."
The supplies were administered by the Guam Department of Education (GDOE)- Federal Programs division/grants office and funded by the U.S. Department of Education - Consolidated Grant to the Outlying Areas and the Education Stabilization Fund - State Educational Agency (ESF-SEA).
