VOLUNTEERS and new participants of Persatuan Kemajuan Insan (KESAN) or Society for Human Development Programmes were acknowledged for their efforts during ‘Catalyst Day’ held at the Auditorium Hall of the Sultan Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien College in Bandar Seri Begawan.
The event was held as a show of appreciation to volunteers’ efforts and to welcome new participants.
‘Catalyst’ is the name for KESAN’s volunteer group which was launched last year during the closing ceremony of Belia Brunei Berbakti (3B) 2015. It seeks to give them opportunities to develop soft skills through mentoring sessions. It also gives participants a chance to organise their own volunteer projects.
Catalyst Day aims to commemorate youths who have been part of the programmes and, at the same time, encourage future participation.

The organisation was established in 2006 as a non-government organisation (NGO) comprising 500 volunteers who are committed to supporting the nation achieve the Brunei Vision 2035 and become a Zikir Nation by preparing well-rounded youths with integrity and leadership skills.
