PAINT & GAIN

They use to say charity begins with us. And charity too, enlighten lives, ours and others too. At Kedah LC we provide opportunities for OUM students to address concerns of our community in a meaningful and mutually beneficial way through our Community Projects.

These projects serve as a vehicle for personal growth and leadership, while encouraging active & responsible membership in neighbouring communities. It also broadens the scope of the educational experience through service and reflection.

Our project for Semester September 2007, is Paint & Gain - Painting Bedong Old Folks Home.

Paint - it will be able to provide a new and aesthetic look for the homes

Gain - it will enlighten many hearts particularly the residents

Paint - it will provide a platform for OUM students to interact and communicate

Gain - it will help us gain and portray good image, and establish relationship

40 student, tutors 7 staff took part in the project which lasted for 4 hours. After painting one of the blocks we had lunch with the residents.

IFTAR 1428 - DARUL AITAM WAL MASAKIN ORPHANAGE, ALOR SETAR, KEDAH

Iftar (Arabic : إفطار), refers to the evening meal for breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan. Iftar during Ramadan is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is done right after Maghrib (sunset) time. Traditionally, a date is the first thing to be consumed during iftar. (Source: Wikipedia). Rasullulah SAW said' "Whoever fasts, experiences two joys. He is joyful when he breaks his fast, and is joyul because of his fasting when he meets ALLAH - Sahih Muslim.

The following doa may be recited at the time of breaking one's fast:

ALLAAHUMMA LAKA S'UMTU WA A'LAA RIZQIKA AFT'ARTU WA A'LAYKA TAWAWKKALTU
O my Allah, for Thee, I fast, and with the food Thou gives me I break the fast, and I rely on Thee Iftar when the fast is broken. (Source : ezsoftech.com)

Ramadhan 1428H - We held our annual Iftar gathering with orphans from Darul Aitam Wal Masakin Orphanage in Alor Setar. Students, tutors & staff from PP Kedah, PP Jitra & PP Kangar joined 40 boys from the home to a feast donated by OUM and all the students & tutors. "Whoever invites others to break the fast, and whoever takes care of the hungry, needy, during the last ten days of Ramadhan will receive equal rewards to the fasting person(s).
