The project is part of an effort to diversify ways or mechanisms to enable the public to channel their donations specifically for orphans in the country. Yesterday morning, the ‘SMS’ Brunei Prihatin for DANA 2022-2023 Launching Ceremony was held at the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Complex, in the capital.
The launching was officiated by Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Lailaraja Retired Major General Dato Paduka Seri Haji Awang Halbi bin Haji Mohd Yussof, Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office as Chairman of DANA Board of Trustee. The function ran concurrently with the presentation of DANA donations to Orphans to Purchase School Supplies for the Academic Year 2023, to 1,435 orphan nationwide. The coupons were presented by Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ahmaddin bin Haji Abdul Rahman, Minister of Home Affairs as member of DANA Board of Trustee to District Officers to be handed over to orphans via village heads. Starting this year, orphans registered through the National Welfare System, SKN will receive assistance from other agencies, to avoid duplication in giving similar donations, so that DANA can plan and organize new and effective activities and projects.
