Bru Direct, Brunei Darussalam
Bandar Seri Begawan – A group of scholars from the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) recently visited Pusat Bahagia and Pusat Ehsan as part of their community work project.
The group first went to Pusat Bahagia where they were briefed by the representatives from the centre and later were brought for a tour around the workshop and classrooms.
During the tour, the visitors witnessed the daily activities carried out by the students of Pusat Bahagia where they were also taught to use the Braille system, learnt the sign language and participated in a variety of games and dances.
On the second day, the group of scholars visited Pusat Ehsan. They were first taken to the handicraft workshop, where souvenirs were made and sold to the public. The group later proceeded to visit the hydroponics and orchid gardens.
The students of Pusat Ehsan were very eager to show their assigned tasks such as screwing nuts and bolts, matching colours and counting coins.
During the last days of the community work, the scholars helped out with sports activities in preparation for the students’ Special Olympics.
The scholars also presented a small donation to Pusat Bahagia including a teddy bear for a young girl. — Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
