Students from Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam’s (BIBD) Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future (ALAF) programme concluded its ‘Cookies for Palestine’ campaign.
The campaign, which ran from November 27 to December 3, 2023, involved 60 students, who handled the baking and packing process, while another 20 sold the cookies at Bandarku Ceria.
The effort led to the production of 462 packets containing three cookies each which were sold out, raising BND2,310.01.
In a gesture of solidarity and support, four representatives from BIBD ALAF handed over the proceeds to Acting Director of Community Development Department Fauziah binti Haji Mohd Salleh at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, said the bank in a statement yesterday.
“The gesture signifies the success of the campaign and the wider commitment of BIBD in upholding the Maqasid Syariah principles, promoting community development, and fostering a sense of global citizenship among its students.”
