A total of BND12,000 was raised from the sold-out Taiwan Long Tan Philharmonic Orchestra charity performance in the Sultanate.
The funds were handed over to the Special Education Association (FITRAH) during the performance’s interval at Jerudong International School Arts Centre on Saturday.
Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office Vanessa Shih handed over the donation to FITRAH President Hajah Norjum binti Haji Yusop and Assistant President Dr Hajah Norbayah binti Shahminan. Admin member of FITRAH, Noor Rashidah binti Haji Ariffin and President of the Taiwan Business Association in Brunei Darussalam (TBABD) Wu Chay Chin were also in attendance.
The donation aimed to support children with special educational needs.
Nearly 750 guests from various sectors in the country attended the orchestra.
In her remarks, Shih said, “We truly believe that music has a magical power to bridge cultural divides. It serves as an international language that brings people closer together and fosters mutual understanding.” – James Kon
