RASA-Charity For The Pleasure of Allah

The visit to RASA (Rumah Aman Shah Alam) was looooong overdue. At last, I was "induced" by Cik Yat on Saturday 6th Aug '05.

This week gang - Hasnah&Ilman, Rusiah&her two angels, Maziah, Fazidah as well as Yati of Tadika Anugerah. Familah couldn't make it but she send 20 packs of party pack to "menceriakan majlis". Click here to see more photos hosted by Shutterfly .




The place is easy to spot ; Lot 2A, Jalan Bunga Cempaka 2/11, Shah Alam - in front of WetWorld Shah Alam, a castle-like yellow building near the Sekolah Menengah.
The gate is always locked, you've to call the number displayed on the front wall and ask permission fm Umi Mai to enter.


Basically it is a BOY ONLY orphanage. It is run by a non-profit and non-political organisation. The trustees of Rumah Aman are Abdul Rehman Dakri, Ismail Ahmed Dakri and Datuk HMS Manan Md. Said.
They are affiliated with Our Home: Rumah Aman an organisation registered with the Charity Commissioners in United Kingdom. Their registration number is 1102689.
You can visit http://www.rumahaman.com/ to know more about RASA.

Currently they are 7 boys aged fm 4-6 housed there. RASA is in "recruitment" drive to help more needy orphans. The boys stayed and schooled at the same place. Umi Mai and a few other helpers stayed full time with the kids.

Happenings of the day :
We arrived there around 415pm. Umi Mai greeted us and we proceed to the kitchen where the boys were having their tea accompanied by a regular volunteer Puan Mala.
We waited for the others to arrive one by one and finally Cik Yat who arrived with her 2 boys.


Cik Yat gave us a quick tour of the classroom (oops Azfar forgot to take the classroom photo),

After the brief tour, it was time for Asr prayer. Azfar joined the other kids for prayer. The "excited-mother" gang prepare for the Mini RAIST in the adjoining leisure room.

Mama Hasnah started the session with the Bismillah song from I Look I See CD.



Then Mak Ninuk sang the "Ikan Emas" song and we proceed with reading 2 books - SPOTS (Sunshine) and Mak Menti & Pak Batik (Arus Intelek).


Other mothers helped to "cool down" some of the kids who got excited easily.



We wrap up by giving out the party pack from Famillah as well as Maziah.
