Sultan's call to end poverty.

Looking back at the work histories of international humanitarian affairs, the organisation have initiated programmes that give opportunities to volunteers to experience life in the third world country, where poverty is abundant. To perform relief efforts that can alleviate poverty have then became the major aim and vision of the organisation. Poverty forms a huge part of the global community. It exists everywhere even Brunei. For now, the poverty line in Brunei is somewhat invisible. However, if one could take time to see Brunei from different angles, problems due to poverty do exist.

With His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei call for programmes that can alleviate poverty, hopefully the citizens of this country will be aware that poverty is a major problem that needs to be alleviated not neglected.
