Special Olympics workshop

Bandar Seri Begawan - Pusat Ehsan held a two-day Special Olympics 'Bocce' workshop for Special Teachers yesterday. Pusat Ehsan is considered the focal point for the Special Olympics in Brunei.

'Bocce' is an old game which has its origin from Italy and is almost similar to the game 'lawn bowling'. It has been a recognised game from all over the world and now it is introduced in Brunei as one of the many concentrated sports for people with intellectual disability.

Present at the workshop and also the coach for running the show was Madam Lua Bee Yueh, who is a Special Olympics Coach from Malaysia. Involved in the event were more than 50 teachers from Special schools in Brunei and those with intellectual disability and also volunteers.
