CNMI-WIC Nutrition Services coordinator Erin Angela Camacho, in an e-mail, said the Chinese translator will be available for scheduled appointments on Wednesday.
Camacho said for those participants who need a Chinese speaker or translator, they can come in from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesdays as walk-in clients.
She said they don’t have the statistics regarding the ethnicities of the WIC participants.
“We cannot identify how many are Chinese, Carolinians, Filipinos, Chamorro and others because our forms just state ethnicities by region, but we hope to have that statistics in the future,” Camacho told the Variety.
Last month, the program served 5,099 certified participants on Saipan, Rota and Tinian.
Of this number, 4,635 were from Saipan, 254 from Tinian and 210 from Rota.
