Following a series of successful book drives across Sarawak, Business Events Sarawak (BESarawak) has proudly donated 1,000 books to Sekolah Kebangsaan Batu Bungan (Batu Bungan Primary School) at a recent handover ceremony.
The donation is part of Books Build Legacy, BESarawak’s state-level initiative, which aims to bridge the gap in educational resources and empower young minds in rural Sarawak. The event addresses the importance of community development and the transformative impact of accessible materials on young learners.
“The donations to SK Batu Bungan were collected from two events this year, namely the ‘Connect. Play. Donate’ industry gathering in Kuching and the Sarawak Invitational Interteam Pickleball Challenge 2024 in Miri,” said Amelia Roziman, CEO of BESarawak, who presented the books to Michelle Lee, senior assistant of students’ affairs, from Batu Bungan Primary School.
“There is very good progress with this programme which is hopefully inspiring to other organisations looking to make a difference,” added Amelia.
BESarawak invites more organisations from all industries to donate to Books Build Legacy.
