Issues that were raised include:
a) TEMBURONG RELIEF PROJECT
Vice chief Nurul Adibah Hamdani explained about the details Temburong relief project to committees who couldn’t attend the last meeting and to new volunteers.
Date and target area:
The proposed date for the project is 23rd. However, due to unforeseen reasons, the date had to be postponed to 25th (first term holiday)
There have been changes in the target area. Since the target has been reduced to just one area- Sultan Hassan Primary School- the project will be done in just one day.
Budget:
Funds collections are as follows:
$20 for committee members
$10 for volunteers.
$10 for volunteers.
Group treasurer, Dk Nurahlina suggested that the distribution of funds are as follow for the volunteers:
$6 for transport and $4 for food.
This distribution is still not confirmed as we need to channel more funds to the activities.
Official fund raising is not possible to be done now since the proposed date is not far.
The outline of activities for Temburong project are as follows:
• Ice breaking session with the 100 Bokok primary school students
(Who lost their school in the flood disaster) placed at Sultan Hassan primary school.
• Landscaping competition around the school area.
• Interactive and educational games to liven their spirit.
• Cleaning campaign.
More details: refer to program aktiviti temburong file.
Problems encountered:
We have not received approval on our project from the Urussetia Mangsa Banjir Temburong so during the meeting Ak Ahmad Fadillah called the office.
Our letter has not been processed so letters and proposals need to be redone and send directly to Pejabat Daerah Temburong by Tuesday, 18 March 2008.

JBS has given us 4 slots.
d) VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT
We still need more volunteers. Ak Ahmad Fadillah suggested the use of registration forms for volunteer registration.
e) INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS
Ak Hj Ahmad Fadillah mentioned that International Humanitarian Affairs has emailed him regarding the committee’s position.
The unfilled position needs to be filled as soon as possible.
He has also mentioned that we need to send our monthly reports to humanitarian affairs international regarding the projects which have been done or still pending for that month
f) CONSTITUTION
Since the group was just recently formed, we are still under the ministry of youth, culture and sports.
To be registered as an NGO, paper works (i.e constitution) need to be done. We need someone who can help us with the constitution. Ak Hj Ahmad Fadillah had suggested a particular lawyer.
The group has not started on a constitution or any other paper works yet so for the time being, Brunei Humanitarian Affairs Support Group is a club under International humanitarian affairs org
f) MISCELLANEOUS
The invisible poverty line in Brunei has been mentioned by Ak Hj Ahmad Fadillah and discussed with the rest of the committee and volunteers present.
Hence, it is to be reminded that Brunei Humanitarian Affairs does not only focus on the invisible poverty situation in Brunei but also the plight of the third world countries
g) NEXT MEETING
The main agenda for the next meeting will be on the Temburong Project and collection of funds.
