In support of nationwide Day of Action Campaign, Brunei Shell Petroleum Company (BSP) on Wednesday hosted 66 students from selected Belait schools and Pusat Ehsan for “Play and Learn” sessions at the Brunei Shell Recreation Club (BSRC).
Present at the event was BSP Managing Director Johan Atema and Belait Acting District Officer Haji Mohammad Amirol Hafidzin bin Haji Muhammad.
In his welcoming remarks, Johan Atema shared “Day of Action is more than a charitable act: it’s about creating joyful and meaningful connections. By embracing a learner’s mindset, we not only teach valuable lessons but also demonstrate the importance of curiosity and growth in every experience. Through engaging games and activities, we’re inspiring the next generation to view education as an exciting journey and a pathway to a brighter future,”
The fun-packed morning was led by volunteers comprised of BSP staff from the BSPCares programme, who organised eight educational activities such as Saving Money Games, Recycling Games as well as Science, Technology, Engineering. Art, and Maths (STEAM) sessions by Seria Energy Lab (SEL). It is hoped that the students will have a meaningful experience through the educational and interactive sessions during this holiday season.
BSPCares is a volunteerism programme that was initially launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brunei to allow BSP staff to provide support and contribute towards the national COVID-19 relief. These activities included support and relief for socio-economically challenged communities.
In 2021, BSPCares continued as a company-wide volunteering programme which include as a platform for BSP staff to demonstrate care and community contributions. Since 2019, this platform has recorded more than 48,000 volunteer manhours. – Fadley Faisal
