Members of the public were initially surprised to see a crowd gathering at the car park of St John's School in Kuala Belait on New Year's Day and on the following day recently.

People in the crowd were seen packing and loading two truckloads of goods which were then transported away.

Upon closer inspection, the inquisitive onlookers soon realised that many people of all nationalities were donating clothing, foodstuff, and even cash at the school compound.

One source from the St John's office said that they collected B$5,000.00 on January 1 alone, adding that they had received more donations for the victims of the recent tsunami disaster. The cash will be forwarded to the governing bodies of the disaster relief fund.

The packed goods were apparently taken to several agencies in the capital.

More donations are still being presented at the office of St. John's School, said a few volunteers. The office can be reached at 3334207 (Belait District).
