"Charity bowling to raise RM300,000, set record

2011/04/02

SHAH ALAM: The Rumah Aman Charity Bowling Event will take place on June 25 at 15 bowling alleys simultaneously in the Klang Valley.

Rumah Aman Orphanage and Welfare hopes to raise RM300,000 to build its second orphanage and welfare home Rumah Aman 2, and make an entry into the Malaysia Book of Records as the biggest charity bowling event to be held in the country.
"We have booked 20 lanes each at 15 bowling alleys. We expect 300 teams of four bowlers each," said Rumah Aman (Shah Alam) founder and chairman Abdul Rehman Dakri.
"I urge individuals to take part and help orphans and needy children to break away from the vicious cycle of poverty."
Rumah Aman (Shah Alam) is the welfare foundation that manages Rumah Aman Orphanage and Welfare Home, a full-fledged orphanage caring for 30 orphans and children from poor families aged between 6 and 12. They will be sheltered until they turn 18.
Rehman said the construction of Rumah Aman 2, at Sungai Buloh Country Resort, Saujana Utama, started in November last year.
"The land was a gift. Over the last three years, we raised about RM1 million for the project and we need to raise RM1.8 million more. We hope to complete the project in February next year."
Rehman thanked the bowling alleys for their participation. Pin Junction at e-Curve, Cineleisure, Mutiara Damansara and Mines Bowl at The Mines are sponsoring the games for the event, while the other have given discounts.
"We have 26 volunteers organising the charity event, and we need at least 75 more to assist us now and on event day.
"It's an opportunity to take part in a good cause and a record-breaking feat at the same time.
"We also hope corporations and individuals will come forward as event sponsors or part sponsors."
"The participating fee of RM1,000.00 per team and all sponsorships in cash or kind are tax deductible.
The closing date for registration is April 30.
For details on how to participate or contribute to the event, go to www.rumahaman.com or bowlforcharity.blogspot.com .
The event is on Facebook at Rumah Aman 2 -- Bowl for Charity Event 25 June 2011. Alternatively, write to rumahaman2@groups.facebook.com or rabowlingreg@gmail.com"

Rumah Aman 2 Bowl For Charity 2011 : Revised version

I would like to convey sincere apologies to Mines Bowl on behalf of Volunteers of Rumah Aman, and Rumah Aman, for accidentally leaving them out of the video despite being one of the generous hosts by sponsoring all games played at their bowling alley for the Rumah Aman 2 Bowl For Charity event. This version now includes the Mines Bowl logo. The other generous host with the same arrangement is Pin Junction.

Rumah Aman's Charity Shop or Kedai Amal

Some of you may already know this but to the rest, we would like to introduce you to Rumah Aman's charity shop. If you're a bargain hunter it's a place of wonderful discoveries, there are always something new for you to find at this shop as all the things being sold are donations. Best of all you won't get any buyer's remorse from shopping here as all proceeds will go to a good cause, the maintenance and development of Rumah Aman. So what are you waiting for, drop by Rumah Aman and have a look around. You may like to visit the boys while you're there!

Here are some pictures taken the recent visit but we warn you, stuff may have changed since we last went there as they are always receiving new things.

Saturday Morning at Rumah Aman : Rise and Shine everyone!!

Weekdays have been rather hectic for most of us VoRA (Volunteers of Rumah Aman). Work commitment, family, studies and personal life in general. Weekends are the only spare time we have to spend with extended families and of course, children of Ruman Aman ;)

We were wondering what activities they have on a Saturday morning. So last Saturday, Suraya and I paid them a visit and this is what we found them doing :)

                               football !!

                        the goal keeper ;)                                                      

Some were busy watering their plants (I know right, they plant  their own flowers and trees, amazing!)

                  pokok pisang :)

                       Ariis is adorable!!

And some were too happy and excited to see us with cameras ! haha :)

                            meet the boys :)

 1 of the boys, Amri gave us a de-tour around Rumah Aman. These are some of the pictures we took.


   
   Amri:  every Saturday morning: Cuci Kasut Sekolah !

Saturday Video Shoot

Rumah Aman video shoot wraps up! I am sorry for it to end as a) I get a happy glow working on it amongst the children b) I want it to be better (the video) but I suppose it never will be if I keep shooting and make nothing out of it. They had guests on that Saturday (who bought them the KFC) so the boys were on their best behaviour.  Managed to catch a few shots of them in the TV room and mostly at dinner.

There is a pressing need now to hurry and edit it, to add to our promotional tools; as we are still a long way to go from the target number of teams. If you are reading this and thinking about signing up to bowl - please do! It is fun, it is for a good cause and you may end up on the Malaysian Book of Records!

Here are some photos from the shoot:
