Nuzul Quran di Pondok

Pada malam 17 Ramadhan yang lalu kami bertuah kerana dapat menjalankan majlis Nuzul Al-Quran di pondok dengan penceramahnya Al-Fadhil Ustaz Abu Khair b. Ayub, Mudir Madrasah Dehrang Kedah. Banyak pesan2 yang baik dan bermenafaat daripada ceramah beliau, moga dapat datang lagi ke pondok.

RAYA SHOPPING WITH ORPHANS AND NEEDY CHILDREN FROM PONDOK LEKIR

 I am happy to announce that a total sum of RM2196 was collected to buy Raya clothes for the orphans and needy children from Persatuan Manabi'ul Ulum in Lekir.
With money in hand, it was time for the shopping spree on Saturday morning.

 Cikgu Daniel was one of the lecturers who had volunteered to help.  Besides becoming the photographer, he also helped to drive a few of the orphans from the Pondok to the shop in Manjung.

 Puan Kamariah is helping two of the children to choose kopiah.  Looking on is Puan Umi, Ustaz Syed's wife.

 The cashier is taking down the items the boys and girls have chosen from the shop.

 Puan Kamariah and I are familiar with many of the children at the home as this is the seventh year we have helped them to buy Raya clothes.

 Three of the students from KVSM also came along with Cikgu Maznah to help.  

 Miss Cheah helping to give out the Duit Raya to the orphans that was given by one of the lecturers in our college.

 After buying clothes and kopiah, the children went to Rapid Departmental store to look for sandals and shoes.

 You can see the girls choosing shoes in the store.

Paying for the shoes at the counter. A total of RM1713 was spent during the Raya shopping.  Two of the children on the list did not come for the shopping spree and so I might hand the money to Ustaz Syed to buy clothes for them later.  The remainder will be given to the children as Duit Raya.

PS RAMADAN ACTIVITY: VISITING OLD FOLKS AT PONDOK LEKIR

Like last year, as part of the Resource Centre Programme for the Ramadan month, I had planned to bring 36 of my librarians next Tuesday to visit the 60 odd senior citizens at the Manabi'ul Ulum Centre or Pondok Lekir to present them with festive goodie bags as well as to bring festive cheer to them. However, I was told that many of the old folks had requested to go back this week to their villages to celebrate Hari Raya Aidil Fitri with their loved ones. They were supposed to only go back on the 27 day of Ramadan. As a matter of fact, about 40 of them had already gone back home and there were only 21 left. Puan Kamariah and I had to act fast and the both of us went out to buy kurma (dates) and biscuits to put into the goodie bags that we would bring along with us on Wednesday evening. Accompanying us on our goodwill visit were Tuan Haji Hasnin, Puan Norbazuaniza and her daughter, Yaya and two of my students, Atikah and Balqis. A few of the ladies felt sad that we could not bring along all the students as they had enjoyed their company last year. Sigh!!! Next year I will make sure that I plan the visit earlier so as not to disappoint the golden girls and also my librarians.
