Senator Telo T. Taitague took a moment to visit with families and staff at the new Guma San Jose homeless shelter in Dededo this week. Catholic Social Services, which operates the facility, held a grand opening celebration on April 27, 2010.
Reaching out to lend a helping hand to those families who are struggling financially is perhaps one of the greatest qualities of our community, Senator Taitague said. Im proud to support Guma San Joses mission to provide women and their children with the services, shelter and support they need to re-establish themselves and earn a decent living for their families.
Currently Guma San Jose is the only homeless shelter that can accommodate children and their families who are not victims of violence or abuse. The facility is capable of housing up to ten families with accommodations for single occupants.
As preparations for the U.S. Department of Defenses expected military buildup on Guam move forward, Senator Telo T. Taitague continues to keep abreast of current issues and concerns while remaining a staunch proponent for mutually beneficial initiatives and open communication with the general public.
A groundbreaking ceremony for a facility to house 18,000 construction workers clearly indicates that today, despite public opinion, the buildup is moving forward. Senator Taitague said. This is the most significant event in Guams history since World War II and it is our responsibility to work together to guide this process in the best interest of our people.
Senator Taitague joined Younex International during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ukudu Workforce Village in Harmon. The facility is being constructed to house the anticipated18,000 laborers needed to build the required infrastructure within the DOD timeframe.
There is a very heated debate that spans all cultures and ages on Guam, especially among our younger professionals, students and our youth. Im proud to say that our people are informed with well researched arguments both for and against an increased military presence, Senator Taitague said. But the challenge for todays leader goes beyond distinguishing what side we are on. We must realize that this buildup already is affecting this community, whether they are new businesses in Tumon or dissenting voice among the constituents we serve. Weve got to think about the dynamics of the events we see happening now and weve got to establish a vision that will secure a greater quality of life for our children and future."
