Kuala Belait - The committee for Belait District Tsunami Relief Fund is hoping to raise more funds for the tsunami victims by organising a two-week charity fair at the Dewan Bandaran in Kuala Belait.

The charity fair will be held from February 18 until March 1. Twenty one booths have been put up at the civic hall and are now offered for rent to local small and medium enterprises in the district at $200 to $250 per booth.

The committee has also allocated 15 stalls at the parking lot near the civic hall for food vendors.

A corner for jumble sale at the Dewan Bandaran is also allocated, said a committee member.

"We welcome anyone who wishes to donate items for sale at the jumble sale area. All proceeds from the sale will go to the tsunami relief fund," said Awang Haji Azahasibul Zainal Abidin Puteh, the Vice President of the Belait Youth Council.

He said also all the money collected from the rental ofthe booths and stalls will also go to the fund.

Awang Haji Azahasibul said on February 27, the event would be extended to the Tudung Saji Food Centre in Kuala Belait where various activities would be held.

"There will be a colouring competition, games for children and many other outdoor activities during the one-day event at the Tudung Saji Food Centre. It would be the climax of the fund raising event," he added.

He said all members of the public are welcome to support the two-week long event together with their contributions to the tsunami relief fund. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
