Special Olympics 2nd Asia Pacific Bocce Competition

A Kind request from BYL 2005 Meela Aliuddin


Dear BPYs,

I am looking for volunteers for Special Olympics 2nd Asia Pacific Bocce Competition from 18th to 24th August 2008. If you are interested to help out, please leave me a message ONLY at 8773716 – Meela. I need to find at least 40 volunteers to just smooth out the activities. Let me tell you something about the event and association.

Special Olympics Brunei Darussalam is a non-government organisation under Special Olympics International who runs and organizes sporting events and training for our athletes who are intellectually impaired. We are again given the honour to host and organize the 2nd Asia-Pacific Bocce Competition, which will be held from the 18th until the 24th August 2008. Six countries from Asia Pacific will be taking part in this sporting event.

Volunteers are being recruited now to voluntarily help us to successfully run this major sporting event. Part of the volunteers’ role will be:

  1. To help out with our HEALTHY ATHLETES SCREENING for which these volunteers will need to be trained and will be given training prior to the event to help screen the special athletes’ health.
  2. To help out with the technical games side. A one-day training will also be held and given to the volunteers.
  3. To be Liaison Officers for the contingents/countries who will be participating in this event.
  4. To help out with various other committees such as secretariat, refreshment, accommodation and others. (Some of the volunteers in these committees may be required to help out 24 hours of the day or at least from the time the athlete wake up till they sleep i.e. 6 a.m. – 12 midnight)

Anyone interested and who can commit themselves during this period, please do not hesitate to contact me. For now, however, volunteers are needed to fulfil role No. 1.

May god reward you for volunteering and helping to make this event a success. Thank you from the working committee for the Special Olympics 2nd Asia-Pacific Bocce Competition.

Yours truly,

Meela Aliuddin J
