EXPO organiser Da Adwa’s House handed over donations to two orphaned siblings whose parents and grandmother died in the police barracks in Muara recently.
Nine-year-old Faridzakwan bin Titismandi and his three-month-old sibling received the dona-tions at an Aidiladha celebration held recently during Da Adwa’s Expo which runs until October 4 at The Airport Mall.
Faridzakwan’s father, a member of the Royal Brunei Police Force, mother and grandmother passed away on August 29 at their home in the police barracks caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
The two siblings are now being taken care of by their uncle Titimuradi bin Wahid and his wife in Bukit Beruang.
