To achieve a cleaner and greener environment, it is important to create awareness amongst all levels of the community including children.

Standard Chartered Bank in collaboration with the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation, Ministry of Development ensured that this environmental awareness was successfully instilled in Brunei's future environmental ambassadors during a Drawing and Colouring contest.

The contest was held last September 2003 at Anggerek Desa Primary School with the theme "A Clean, Beautiful, and Quality Environment". It was held as part of the Bank's Community Week 2003 activities.

Some 89 students were presented with certificates yesterday for their participation in producing colourful pieces of artwork for the contest.

Twelve winners were presented with trophies as recognitions for their outstanding artworks. Four of the best winning entries were incorporated in the form of calendar to enhance environmental awareness even further.

In appreciation of the Ministry of Education's support for the contest, Hjh Hasnah Hj Azri, Head of Human Resources and Corporate Affairs, Standard Chartered Bank presented a collection of 2004 calendars to Dyg Hajah Apsah Hj Abd Majid, Director of Schools at the Ministry. With the assistance of the Ministry, these calendars will be distributed to various schools in the country.

Hans Theilkuhl, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank said, "We look forward to support future initiatives that seek to instil a sense of responsibility, build good traits and promote admirable character developments of a child's progress towards adulthood. I would like to congratulate the young artistes on their achievements and thank the Department of Environment for their support."
