SOUNDS OF HOPE CHARITY GALA NIGHT

The Women Business Council is hosting a Charity Gala Night on 3 October 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at the Jerudong Amphitheater. The Charity Gala Night is organised for the purpose of raising funds for Families in Poverty in Brunei. The theme for the event is “Sounds of Hope” featuring popular local artists who will be performing a variety of song and dance numbers. We aim to give a ray of hope to families who live in poverty by helping them help themselves.

A group of young team of volunteers, known informally as SOH Youth Volunteer Network Against Poverty, came forward to help families in poverty in Brunei. Women Business Council is supporting their advocacy through this fund-raising campaign. They are operating under the auspices of WBC and are registered volunteers under the volunteering program of Department of Community Development, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
