The Jerudong Park and Country Club will soon be launching its Charity Aid for Iraq. The programme will be in support of the Humanitarian Fund for Iraqi people that was set up with the consent of His Majesty The Sultan and Yang Di Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam through the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports and Ministry of Religious Affairs.

This was said in a press briefing yesterday afternoon by the Playground Manager, Mr Chua Pheng Chai.

The objective is to provide facilities for the staffs, members and visitors as well as the public in general to give their donations, which would be in monetary value.

Donation boxes will be set up at various locations on JPCC properties.

They will remain at such strategic locations until August 2 before being sent to the National Committee for the fund.

The launch pad for the Charity Aid will be the concert at 8 pm on June 1 at the JPCC Amphitheatre.

The Musicaid Concert will be featuring local artistes and groups performing various types of songs.

Concert tickets will be sold at B$10 and every $2 from the ticket sold will be donated to the fund set up by JPCC.

Other events that are being lined up include the Iraq Charity Bazaar at the JPCC Playground, the JPCC Playground Fun Race and the Charity Carnival for Iraq to be held in the JPCC Garden.
