BELAIT - WIDE grins and happy chatter were the order of the day yesterday as members of the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) visited the residents of the Community Service Centre in Seria, bearing gifts and cheer to ensure the old folks weren’t forgotten coming up to the Lunar New Year tomorrow.
Despite being caught up in preparations for the auspicious Chinese celebrations, some 10 members of BDRCS led by its Vice President Chai Yum Fatt did their part to enliven the festivities at the community centre, where the majority of the residents are of Chinese descent.
Always happy to have visitors, the old folk traded tales and exchanged greetings with BDRCS members, many of whom were familiar faces.
In addition to hampers of food, including traditional Chinese biscuits and other edibles, the residents were also presented with token cash gifts as part of traditional custom. Even the home itself was not forgotten, as BDRCS also donated several botanical supplies such as fertiliser to help maintain the flowers and trees that provide shade for the residents in the surrounding garden.
BDRCS further renewed its commitments to the continued assistance and support of the centre, in line with its objectives of caring for the welfare of the local community.
On hand to receive the donations was Anna Chua, warden at the Community Service Centre.
