Charity Group Offers Aid To Less Fortunate
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Women's organisation HawaNDP recently offered assistance to the less fortunate throughout the country amid the Hari Raya festivities.

The members scoured the four districts in search of poor people living in dilapidated houses and dire living conditions.

The project, dubbed Jejak Ehsan, took the women to a house in Kg Agis-Agis Lumut where they visited an underprivileged family, and later handed them Raya clothes and food.

Their next stop was a family in Kampong Bukit Sulang Lamunin who, according to the head of the household, said they - including a few small children - lived on a day-today basis.

"We do not earn enough to save for our future," he said.

The group then headed to the Brunei-Muara District, where they visited a man, aged 100, living in a dilapidated hut.

In the same village, the group also visited a woman with four small children, living in a ramshackle hut with no electricity supply.

Meanwhile, the women also donated clothes and food to recent fire victims in Temburong District and Kampong Badas Seria. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
