Our OwnTae Kwan-do Team

Four of Rumah Aman's children competed in a Petaling District School Spot Council Tae Kwan-do competition last June organised jointly bt the Selangor Tae Kwan-do Associtaion, Petaling Perdana District Schools Office and Petaling Utama District Schools Office.

The competition was opened to school children from the age of 9 to 19 years old in various categories. Our children competed in the primary school category which was held at D'Kelana Hall, Kelana Jaya, Selangor on June 17, 2009.

Muhammad Redha Yaasin, 10, as placed second in the 22kg weight category

Muhammad Arif Fauzi, 10, won the first round against a black belt holder but lost the second round to another black belt holder in the heavyweight category.

Raziq Hafizi and Muhammad Firdan Rahmat, both 10 years old, however, lost to their opponents in the first round in the under 30 kg category.

Although they did not get good results overall, the competition was a good exposure for them since taking up tae kwan-do lesson since two years ago.

Keep it up boys and try harder next time.

Earthwork, Retaining Wall Completed

The earthworks and building of retaining wall all around the site of Rumah Aman 2 has been completed.

The completed retaining wall at the back measures 27 meters long and 4.5 meters high whilst the retaining wall by the side measures 65 meters long and 6 meters high.

The extended retaining wall at the front of the site was completed this week. It measures 37 meters long and 2 meters high.

We hope when Rumah Aman 2 is ready we will be able to care for 60 orphaned and poor boys and help them shape a better future for themselves and their family members, however, we cannot do this by ourselves, we will need continuous assistance from the public to make this dream a success.
