Multiple Activities of Children at Kidzania

A Visit to Kidzania

The Children of Rumah Aman had been taken to Kidzania, that provides children and their parents a safe, unique, and very realistic educational environment and allows kids between the ages of four to twelve to do what comes naturally to them like role-playing by mimicking activities e.g working like insurance companies, Sony, postal service, fire truck, road license authority, etc 

The indoor theme park is a city specifically built for children with complete buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy, and recognizable destinations in the form of "establishments" sponsored and branded by leading multi-national and local brands. 

The basic concept behind this is to let the children work like real role models and they may adopt and develop their minds for the upcoming future challenges. 

With the awareness of multiple types of works available, children can prepare their minds as what would they like to do in future and can follow the relevant course of education. 

Children of Rumah Aman had been fortunate enough to visit Kidzania. They were given certain amount of money when they started their day which they either spent in shops or worked in those shops to get a wage.

Overall it was a well organised trip arranged by Rumah Aman for the kids' mental nourishment and children enjoyed their activities a lot besides grasping the images of future roles on the other hand.

How to Help the Needy?

Almost every good human being wants to help humanity one way or the other. Too much money is never a necessity for helping the poor. There are multiple ways to help the deserving and it requires a sympathetic and kind heart. The most important act is to motivate people in your surroundings like friends, peers, relatives and others for the noble act. Convincing others for a good deed is like a chain, where each person would start motivating the next for the noble cause. Here are just some of the ways you can start helping those less fortunate that yourself.

1. Look into your surrounding with fresh eyes and try to see what others' agonies and problems are. Put yourself in others' shoes and feel the problem and pain.
2. Think about the things that are not in your use but be of mighty significance for the ones in need. Donate these little things to the orphanages and charity centers and convince others as well for the donation.
3. Look out for the orphanages and arrange a coaching session for the poor, teach and train them how to earn and live an independent living. Teaching a small skill might help the others to a great extent.
4. Once you are taking your family members for the outing, take a poor child as well with you. This small act may not affect you too much but it will have great impact on the child’s mind. Treat them gently.  
5. Donate good books to the orphanages and it will help several to get benefited. Look for the children school books at home of previous years not of any use any more and donate these. It won’t cost you anything but will help the one who will not have to buy the new ones.
6. Arrange occasional feast or meals for any of the orphanage of your area.  You can ask multiple people to decide and donate for the meals and collectively it will cost little to each but the purpose of feeding the poor would be solved.
7. Purchase top fruit cans, juice boxes, peanuts, oatmeal cookies, other items that don’t have to be cooked and donate.
8. Purchase winter clothing, personal hygiene products, Stationary items, bedding (like quilts, sheets, blankets, pillows). Donate any item that you can, it might be of very little cost to you but it may help the others a lot.

Iftar with Bank Rakyat Berhad

The boys and staff of Rumah Aman were guests of Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad (www.bankrakyat.com.my) at their iftar (breaking of fast) which was held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre on Friday August 19, 2011.

Rumah Aman received a cheque from Bank Rakyat as part of their zakat and the boys each received cash for the upcoming Eid Fitr.

From all of us at Rumah Aman, a very big THANK YOU to Bank Rakyat.

Our Friends in Blackburn

All of us at Rumah Aman are always grateful to Allah for blessing us with friends who care and believe in what we are doing. This is especially so during this blessed month of Ramadhan and when Rumah Aman 2 is well on the way to completion.

Our friends in Blackburn is a case in point. Since 2008, through the tireless efforts of Sister Sofia Esa and Sister Latifa Umar, the ladies from Blackburn have contributed a total of GBP53,000 (GBP20,000 in 2008 and GBP33,000 in 2009) raised during charity dinners that were organised. Besides the charity functions, contributions from our friends in the U.K have been deposited into an account with Habibsons Bank Ltd and periodically transferred to Malaysia.

In recognition of their generosity, we are giving them the honour of naming the prayer hall (or 'surau' in Malay) at Rumah Aman 2. So come on ladies, put on your thinking caps and submit your entries by posting comments to this post.

To our friends in Blackburn, Jazakallahu Khairan Kathiro and to everyone Ramadhan Kareem.
