Welcome Muhammad Azim

Finally, our 30th child, Muhammad Azim bin Mohd Abdullah Sajat, 6, arrived in Rumah Aman on March 31, 2009. Muhammad Azim is an orphaned child who was living with his mother, three sisters and an elder brother at a low cost flat in Port Klang near Shah Alam.

He has adapted well in Rumah Aman and making fast friends with the other boys his age. Before joining Rumah Aman he attended a government sponsored kindergarten at the flats he lives in and he now know all the alphabets.

We hope, by the time he attends school next year, he will be well prepared.

Earthworks, Retaining Wall Work in Progress

The earthworks and the building of retaining walls of Rumah Aman 2 have started!

Machines and equipments were brought in on Tuesday March 17, 2009 and work started the next day.

The earthworks will consist of leveling the ground up to the

foundation level and excavation works for the retaining wall.

A generous neighbour has agreed to let us use water from his home until we get our own water supply from the water authority.

The earthworks and building of retaining wall are expected to be completed in four months time.

We welcome anyone who would like to donate or sponsor building

materials for Rumah Aman 2.

First Rumah Aman 2 Site Visit

The boys, Rumah Aman staff and their families visited Rumah Aman 2 site located at the Sungai Buloh Country Resort in Saujana Utama on March 9, 2009 in anticipation of the building works that will commence soon.

All of us were driving towards the site that morning but halfway, it started to rain heavily so we decided to head to the club house turned Thai restaurant instead. The security person was kind to let us use the premise since it had not yet started operations for the day.

After everybody was gathered and settled, Jamalus Ramli, the husband of our administrator, Rosnah Abdul Mutalib lead the doa and among others asked that Allah bless and protect us and the community around us, give us guidance and to make thing easy for us in this endeavour.

Our founder, Abdul Rehman Dakri then delivered a short speech expressing his thanks to all who had contributed and assisted us in running Rumah Aman, either in kind or cash for the past three years.

He said that work on Rumah Aman 2 will start in about a week from now and we will need continuous assistance from the public in making Rumah Aman 2 a reality. Presently Rumah Aman had collected about RM600,000.00 to build RumahAman 2.

Since the visit also fell on 12 Rabi’ul awal and to glorify the day of Maulid ur-Rasul, the boys recited some verses of the Quran, did Salawat Badriah, Asma Al-Husna and sang Ana Muslim.

Muhammad Redha Yaasin, 10, then recited the doa to end the function before everybody was served refreshments. By the time we finished, the rain had subsided and we went to visit the site.

Once we arrived at the site, the boys were excited seeing so much space around them and started to run around the site, moreover, the area is much bigger than the present Rumah Aman. We stayed there for about half an hour before we left for home.
