Visitors From Singapore

The Hua Yi Secondary School brass band consisting of thirty students and five teachers paid a visit and performed at Rumah Aman on June 9, 2008.

The students, girls and boys mostly aged 15 years old were in Malaysia for a student exchange programme with a secondary school in Kuala Lumpur between the 7^th to 10^th June 2008.

They visited Rumah Aman because they wanted to interact with the children.

Upon arriving, the students were divided into small groups of eight and took turns listening to the briefing on Rumah Aman by our adminstrator, Rosnah Abdul Mutalib and guided tours by teachers, Ema Syarina and Nor Izzah.

The teachers and students of Hua Yi were very impressed with the set up of Rumah Aman, especially on the standard of cleanliness kept.

The brass band then performed about 15 songs, mostly English songs to the enjoyment of the children who were also excited to have been given an opportunity to play on some of the musical instruments after the performance.

The visit was capped with a friendly football match between the boys of the brass band and children of Rumah Aman who were represented by the older boys.

It was a wonderful gesture from Hua Yi Secondary School. We hoped the students enjoyed our company as we enjoyed the brass band performance greatly. The football match was fun too.

We hope we will get the opportunity to visit them in Singapore in the near future, insya-Allah.
