Staff at the British High Commission said “The British High Commission is a longstanding supporter of Pusat Ehsan, as we view the organisation to be a great example of civil society in Brunei. Their aim is to enable the ‘special needs community towards a meaningful life in society’. We were delighted to participate in the bazaar as it is our way of giving back to the community whilst having lots of fun.”
Additionally, there was a “How many keepie-uppies can you do in one minute?’ challenge, where participants had to juggle a football using either their feet or knees without allowing the ball to hit the ground. Muhd Zainin bin Zainuddin took home the winning prize, a DPMM FC jersey signed by Tales Ricarte dos Santos, with an incredible score of 65 keepie-uppies in one minute.
