After the resounding success of last year’s campaign, TLC is back with the
Season 2 of the
Promise Me campaign! This year, the Promise Me campaign brings together 12 corporations and institutions to fulfill
12 golden wishes from charity organizations, and we’re proud to announce that we are one of the organizations on board for this cause :) Our pledge – to raise funds and
help Rumah Aman replace their 15 year-old electricity wiring and lightning breaker system.
Rumah Aman is an orphanage located in Shah Alam, with complete facilities to care for poor boys who are orphaned or from needy families. The home began operations in 2005, and currently houses 30 boys of various ages. There, the children are provided with education,
clothing, food and shelter. Their mission is simple – to give the best to the children, like other parents would for their children.
We paid a visit to Rumah Aman some time ago to hang out with the boys there, and it was great to see how happy the boys there were!
Meet little
Amri, on the left. Amri suffers from a learning disability, but is an endless bundle of energy, happily chatting with us and curiously peering at our gadgets. He dreams of being a football player on the national team one day, and we have no doubt that Rumah Aman will give him everything he needs to achieve that :)
We were also pleasantly surprised at how well-run the place was! The class rooms and recreation room were well-stocked and neatly organized, and all the boys are taught to make their own beds and clean up after themselves, so it’s no wonder the entire home was spotless.
It was obvious that Rumah Aman takes a well-rounded education for the boys very seriously, through the notice boards proudly displaying the boys’ achievements in various extra-curricular activities peppered throughout the home.
One of the things that we found to be the most amazing about Rumah Aman is the fact that it operates
solely on donations from the public, in cash or in kind, and also from zakat and liliah. Whenever the home is running low on any supplies, all they have to do is let the public know via this little signboard outside the home, and the public never hesitates to give whatever they can.
Despite their best efforts to maintain the facilities, it is inevitable that things will degrade due to wear and tear, and sadly that is the case with the electrical wiring and lightning breaker system at Rumah Aman. The old wiring means that the home is quite susceptible to power outages during storms, and the lightning has previously caused
damage to the property before. Therefore, an upgrade is urgently needed to ensure the comfort of all the children there.
And that’s where all of you come in! The upgrade from the current 2 phase electrical wiring system to a 3 phase one will cost an estimated
RM 20,000, and we’ve pledged to raise this amount with the power of the Nuffnang community, and help Rumah Aman get the upgrades it needs. We need all the help we can get to raise the money, so now’s the time to come together and do something great! Here’s how you can help:
