Begawan -Youth from all four districts will be participating
in various activities under a special programme in conjunction with
the 23rd National Day later this month:
The Belia Cinta Tanah Air 2007,
organised by the Culture, Youth and Sports Department is aimed at
instilling and enhancing patriotic values among the youths.
This is done by encouraging youths
to participate in community, religious, leadership and
self-development activities, as well as National Day events. It is
hoped that through these events, the, participants will gain a
spirit of nationality and patriotism. The first phase, which took
place in mid-January, involved the creation of a video clip to
promote the programme. About 50 youths from the Brunei Muara
district were involved, representing various associations, including
the Scouts, Girl Guides and volunteer groups. In the second phase,
the core group from the first phase is joined by about 50 more
youths.
Running from the first week of
January until February 23, the second stage involves the collection
of signatures on the National Day banners and logos, which will be
displayed during the General Assembly on February 24.
In the third phase, participants
are involved in the National Day itself, starting with the first
rehearsal for the big occasion. They will also attend the mass
Maghrib and Isya prayers and doa kesyukuran ceremonies on the
evening of February 23.
After February 24, the youths will
be sent to various mukims in each district, where they will stay
with foster families and partake in the events that have been
organised, said Awg Mohamad Nasir Hj Pungut, the programme
secretary.
The final stage, dubbed "Service
for the Community" will take place from February 24 to 28 during
which youths will be involve in community service such as cleaning
