A Brief Info on Temburong Voluntary Work

What?

After almost 2 months did the flash flood occurred in Temburong, there are still a few who are in need of help especially a families in Bokok and Sekolah Rendah Bokok students. Mainly we will be focusing 100 Bokok students who have been transferred to Sekolah Rendah Sultan Hassan. The affected children might be involve in the project.

  3. Donation (study materials, reading books etc)
  4. Interactive games with the children (educational games)

We might also help Sekolah Ugama Persediaan Arab nearby.

Committees and volunteers will be awarded with certificates from the Brunei Humanitarian Affairs Support Group supported under the Youth and Sports Department (Jabatan Belia dan Sukan).

Toiletries
Snacks
Cleaning and gardening utensils
Donations (books, clothes, etc)
*Camping food (tin cans, satu cupak beras)

*This will be discussed again in the future.

Where?

We will arrive at Bangar, Temburong. The project is taken place at Sekolah Rendah Sultan Hassan, a school located around Bangar. Our house stay will be either at the Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Hostel or Rumah Persinggahan Bangar; it is $30 per room for 4-5 people.

(Accommodation is still pending)

Why?

It is to engage in humanitarian service, strengthen their awareness of diverse cultures, and develop a lifelong commitment to helping others by participating in relief efforts to benefit the affected communities in Temburong (and throughout the region). This is also to regain the spirits of the children.

When?

The project will take place on the (Tuesday) 25th March, during the first term school holidays. There might be a possibility we will extend our stay till the 26th March if there is excess work load.

How?

Transport
We will travel via boat by 730 AM or the earliest by 6 AM from Tambing, Bandar. Approximately, the ride will be around 45 minutes +. If the project completes in one day we will leave Temburong by 4.30PM (last boat to leave).

Hopefully, Jabatan Belia and Sukan will provide the boat fees. (The proposal is still pending). For your information:

Bandar to Temburong
Adult price - $7
Student price - $5

Temburong to Bandar $7

Upon arriving there we will be transported via bus or van to our rest house/hostel.

On foot it will take 3-5 minutes to the rest house/hostel from the dock. Going to the school will also take less than 5 minutes from our rest house/hostel.

Collection
This project requires fund from volunteers. Current committees will have to pay $20 and volunteers $10. All fund will go to the project expenses such as:

cleaning tools (dust pan, brooms, cloths, window spray, mops etc)
gardening tools (potteries, gloves, weeder, mini rakes and hoes, etc)
wood planks
paints (for pondok and gardening)
plants
study materials
food and drinks

And just in case, bring your own money for personal expenses or additional budget. But to cut down the cost, you can bring along cleaning and gardening utensils from home
