His Royal Highness Prince 'Abdul Mateen and Her Royal Highness Princess Azemah Ni'matul Bolkiah yesterday graced the handover of funds amounting to BND$53,122, that were raised during the recent Charity Polo Day 2016.

 

The handover was held at Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al-Hajjah Maryam (Pusat Ehsan) in Bengkurong.

 

Upon arrival at Pusat Ehsan, Their Royal Highnesses were welcomed by the centre's Board of Trustees, and given a briefing on the new rehabilitation centre, which is shortly due for construction.

 

After the briefing, Their Royal Highnesses were ushered to the Multipurpose Hall, where they presented the mock cheques to Pengiran Datin Hajah Noraini binti Pengiran Dipa Negara Laila Diraja Pengiran Haji Abdul Momin, Executive Trustee of Pusat Ehsan who received the donations on behalf of the centre.

 

Charity Polo Day 2016 was recently organised by Cityneon Brunei to raise funds for the special needs students of Pusat Ehsan.

 

Currently, there are about 156 students registered at the centre's Bengkurong branch, while another 53 special needs students are registered with the Kuala Belait branch.

 

Their funding largely comes from public contributions and annual fundraising activities.

Dato Jack Ting, Managing Director of Cityneon Brunei, said that the company has been supporting the centre for the past 13 years, as part of its corporate and social responsibility.

 

"The fund-raising was aimed at helping Pusat Ehsan, as we are aware that the centre's monthly expenses and operations cost around BND$50,000. This donation is meant to assist in the effective and smooth functioning of the centre's daily operations, as well as to cover its expenses," he explained.

 

In an interview with Awang Haji Ahmad bin Haji Abdul Rahman, a Policy and Planning Trustee at Pusat Ehsan, who explained that the centre is set to achieve another milestone with the construction of its new multi-million rehabilitation centre complex.

 

The project, which is under tender process and estimated to cost around three million dollars, will be built on a land plot opposite the current building that houses Pusat Ehsan.

 

The construction project will be carried out in stages as it is mostly dependent on the centre's funding.

 

The new centre is expected to accommodate more students with special needs, as well as individuals requiring occupational therapy.

 

Haji Ahmad also said that the rehabilitation centre would be built during the first stage of the project.

 

On completion, the new complex will serve as a centre of excellence, providing a wide range of facilities for people with special needs.
