Updates for Rumah Aman Video Shoot

We are in the midst of shooting for Rumah Aman promotional communication video for both the bowl for charity and a general video for future use.

Shooting commenced 28th March 2011 and despite estimated end by 30th March, but we've decided to continue shooting on Saturday afternoon to further capture the children during the weekend - playtime fun!

It has been a truly heartwarming experience so far working with the kind people of Rumah Aman and the 30 children, whose effervescent energy and warm affection really gets under your skin and inspires you to keep returning and keep helping.

Will post up the videos once they're ready. For now, here are some photos from the shoot :)

Rumah Aman says Hello!

As the bowling tournament edges closer, we thought it'd be nice to let you all see for yourself what the existing Rumah Aman (RA1) is all about.

Well the principal of RA1 is a Mr Khalid Shah, who with all the passion in the world manages and care for 30 young boys between the ages of 5 and 11. These little boys are sent to sekolah kebangsaan during the day and spend afternoons learning English, Agama Islam and other subjects in the home. The boys are taught and reminded to study hard, awarded for their achievements and trained to do routine daily chores like making their own bed, arranging their shoes and sandals, keeping their bookshelves neat etc. Hey guess what, just like how we are treated by mom and dad at home!

So that is what RA1 (and hopefully the the second Rumah Aman) is looking to achieve, to offer these children the opportunity and the best environment to grow up into successful and happy individuals. 

So that is where we come in.

We are a team of young, hardworking (busy, like all you young corporates), loving, compassionate individuals looking for ways to help make life better for many underprivileged children in Malaysia. And we figured, the more Rumah Amans there are, the more underprivileged children will stand a chance of having a better life!

So lets start now by participating in this upcoming charity bowling event! Proceeds will go to fund the construction of Rumah Aman 2 (so that more children will be able to benefit from the efforts of Rumah Aman). And lets face it, you guys get to have fun! So lets have fun and do some charity! Spread the word to your friends and colleagues y'all!

                                              These are the angels that we are trying to help!

 But if you don't want to bowl, head over to Rumah Aman in Shah Alam and drop off any daily products you feel the kids will need! Hey, they even put a notice at the front as to what they need! Smart :)

 This space shows commitment and dedication of the staff of Rumah Aman to give the best to the  children!

                                                     And yes, the kids do their own beds :)

Oh why is it so clean and proper we hear you asking? Well it's because Rumah Aman is managed well and believes in only giving the best, especially to those who need it the most, children :)

Enjoy!

New Blog Layout!

We've changed the layout of this blog :)
Hopefully it's more user friendly and easily accessible, if you think otherwise and would like to suggest ways for us to improve, drop a comment below.

The forms for 'Volunteers' and 'Bowling teams' are under each respective tabs and contact details of Rumah Aman is under the 'Contacts' tabs.

We've also put in the account details of Rumah Aman 2 if you wish to donate directly to them, under the 'Donate' tab.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Rumah Aman 2 as at 28 March 2011

Alhamdulillah, the ground floor structure of Rumah Aman 2 is now complete...

Good progress has been made so far...but we're still a long way to go so we need all of your support!

Come register as bowling teams or as corporate sponsors!

Concept Paper

4 of the volunteers met up today over samosa and shish kebab (that suspiciously looked like bergedel) plater at Bangsar Village to discuss further on a concept paper that we would like to propose. This Concept Paper will better explain our objectives and goals in trying to secure fundings for the Bowl for Charity event. We will share it with you once it's all nicely done up!

Yes, we were doing work and weren't posing at all!

The Event!

The Rumah Aman 2 Bowl for Charity event is aimed to raise funds for a new orphanage, Rumah Aman 2 at Saujana Utama, Sg. Buloh. This house will be able to accommodate 80 boys, the intake is from 3-6 years old and will be cared for until they are 18 years old. Currently, they are located in Shah Alam with only 30 boys. Once Rumah Aman 2 is completed, Rumah Aman 1 will house 30 girls.

This Bowling event will be the biggest in Malaysia and we're going into the Malaysian Book of Records!
