THE Strayholders programme continued the second phase with 124 students from the Awang Haji Mohd Yusof Katimahar Primary School attending a roadshow yesterday on the importance of caring for homeless animals.
Involving 70 volunteers from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB) and Institute of Brunei Technical Education (IBTE), the roadshow featured a series of talks and educational activities on the plight of local strays.
The project is run by participants of the 2nd Cohort Young Executive Programme, comprising several officers from the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Religious Affairs, including Noor Amal Azirah binti Haji Azlan, Darryl Tieng Woo Siong, Nor Amalina binti Haji Abdul Rahim, Nur Nazurah binti Haji Muhd Alizul and Ustaz Mohd Hilmy Baihaqy bin Haji Yussof.
Project leader Noor Amal Azirah told the Bulletin that the programme is aimed at raising more awareness on the responsibility of looking after pets and strays.
“The Strayholders programme is divided into two parts: the first part, the ‘Strayholders Workshop’, was held in December 2017 to educate youths about strays, apart from developing leadership skills,” she said.
“The second part is particularly aimed at young children, through a three-day roadshow at different schools.”
