The event which we had been planning for eons have been realised!!! The SECRET GARDEN was a success! Thank yous to the committees for their hardwork and participation.

I had been very nervous earlier that morning but my mother and brother who’s tagged along were very supportive. The sky was actually very grey…..but there’s only a light drizzle and Alhamdulillah, the weather was on our side! no rain, but no heat either. the powers from above~

There were only 16 children from Darul Ma’wa, some committees were there to ‘fetch’ the children while there’s the rest of us who waited at the garden. and most unexpected turnout was that 80% of the children were boys!!! he home ‘gave’ us the children who were not having any activities on that day. well, we can’t be choosers.

Alhamdulillah, despite the difficulty to control the boys, [yang tak nak join, yang banyak bercakap, yang terlalu kecik kena buli, yang active, yang helpful, yang ‘pandai,’ wooi, banyak betul kerenah!]

we managed to conduct the games, though, we only played three games(earthquake – a real ice breaker!!, cocoon and moving petals -semangat betul berjalan atas kertas!! siap dukung kawan lagik!!), we had to opt out two games because of time constraint.

and there was the short sketch by the facilitators, on expressions, the children enjoyed them, (entah paham entah tidak adik2 tu~ yang penting, ada yang ketawa, maknanyer pahamlah jugak kan)

and there was a short talk by this brother from pergas named hafiz about trusting oneself and Allah. I really hope the children understand the moral of the story. because i can see the children are really troubled and now i really see the hurt and anger that must have been bottled up inside their hearts and minds. my empathy for them.

gratitudes to the committees for all the hardwork!! it is an event to remember, coming from the heart to give a little smile to the children. it’s worth it. may Allah bless us all.

thanks to mom for being there, happy birthday mak!!! we’re secured you’re there.

berpelukkan nampaknyer!!
