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.

WBC-SOH Families in Poverty Fund project

Any funds raised during the Charity Gala Night will be given to the WBC-SOH Families in Poverty Fund. This is a special fund for projects directly related to activities helping families in poverty. A special committee has been formed, composed of WBC representatives and SOH Volunteers representatives, to oversee the proper use of the fund and will be subject to audit for official reports to donors on how their contributions were utilised. Women Business Council has its own separate account for its association’s activities and administrative affairs.

So please come enjoy the night away all the while contributing to a worthy cause. We need all the support anyone can give. Although I'm part of the committee but I'm also purchasing tickets myself.
