Brunei Scouts gives aid to tsunami victims

JAKARTA: The scouts movement of Brunei Darussalam donated food
and clothing on Thursday for survivors of the Dec. 26 tsunami.

The aid was handed over by Brunei leader Zainal Abidin to the
Indonesian Scouts Movement head Azrul Anwar at the Aceh Scouts
headquarters in Banda Aceh, spokeswoman Setembri Yanti said.

The aid, which is being pooled Medan, consists of 13
containers of clothes and blankets, 1,000 units of food rations
for children and 1,000 packages of utensils.

"We are still collecting more aid and raising funds for the
victims. I expect they will be handed over by February," Zainal
said.

Zainal and four other Brunei Scouts officials visited a
displaced persons camp where Indonesian scouts ran activities for
children before heading to Ulee Lheu beach, which was decimated
by the tsunami. --JP
