More Donations From Brunei Scouts To Tsunami Survivors

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Brunei Darussalam Scouts Association yesterday readied more donations for the tsunami survivors in Aceh.

The contributions, given by generous donors nationwide, were packed in boxes and loaded into four containers, ready to be shipped to the Indonesian province.

Members of the Scouts Association led by Awang Haji Zainal Abidin, their Chief Commissioner, yesterday morning made a final inspection on the donations in the form of clothing.

The shipment is expected to reach Medan via Singapore within 15 days.

In Medan, the donation will be received by the Gerakan Pramuka Indonesia, the Scout Association in Medan, which will distribute the donations to the survivors in Aceh.

In January this year, the Brunei Darussalam Scout Association shipped a total of 13 containers containing clothing, food and drinking water to Aceh.

Since the association set up a centre in January to enable members of the public to help the tsunami victims, it has received an overwhelming response

However, the association has stopped receiving clothes and encourage the people to give cash instead until the end of this month.

Those who wish to give money to the tsunami relief fund do so at the association's Headquarters in Beribi. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
