ec 20, Miri – For the second consecutive year, the Miri Boys’ Brigade handed over gifts to 260 children and youth at Gereja Methodist Tudan (GMT) following the Sunday Worship Service this morning.

Affectionately named as the BB Love Box, the community project first started in Kuching in the year 2012 whereby the Boys’ Brigade members organize, collect and distribute presents to needy families irrespective of their race or religion.

A unique feature of the BB Love Box is that the recipient gets to pick three gifts from a wish list of five items; school bag, stationery, socks, lunch box or water bottle.

Witnessed by the GMT Pastor-in-charge Rev. Ling Biu, the gifts were handed over to the recipients by BB Officers and Boys from 3rd Miri, 4th Miri and 6th Miri.

After the presentation, Rev. Ling expressed his appreciation to the generous donors from the Methodist churches. “These gifts will help the needy families to lessen their financial burden in view of today’s rising costs of living. I also wish to thank the Boys’ Brigade for their love and care for our community,” he added.

In addition, the Sarawak Northern Region Boys’ Brigade further raised 752 gifts; 324 from 5th Miri, 428 from 1st, 2nd and 4th Bintulu.
