GOMBAK, 21 November 2015: A non-Muslim orphanage, Ambu Ilam, was among 10 orphanages participating in Sayang Sentuhan Anak Yatim<\/em> programme called Caring Art Attack held at Female Sports Complex, IIUM yesterday.<\/p>\n

A total of 113 orphans from orphanages such as Hasanah and Permata Hatiku were involved in the programme.<\/p>\n

Fellow of Ambu Ilam orphanage, Vijaya said, \u0153As a fellow, we teach the orphans to be discipline in life since they have family problems, so we carry out this responsibility to ensure they be good and do good.<\/p>\n

Ambu Ilam is the only non-Muslim orphanage that was involved in this Caring Art Attack. Vijaya shared the meaning of Ambu Ilam<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0which she said means Love House.<\/p>\n

Programme Coordinator, Nasuha Naaim, 21, said the objective of conducting this kind of art programme is to expose the orphans to art-based activities to enhance communication between caring clubs and the orphanages, which are directly under Sayang Sentuhan Anak Yatim<\/em> Caring.<\/p>\n

Nasuha explained that this time the programme was rather different because they have invited the non-Muslim orphanages to be part of their family.<\/p>\n

Three main activities were organised to enhance the orphans creativity and imagination. They were tie dye, bookmark and card making and cup cake decoration.<\/p>\n

According to Nasuha, the orphans enjoyed the activities very much and they learnt a lot from the event.<\/p>\n

One of the orphans, Hafiz, 13, from Kasih Nur Hasanah orphanage shared his experience. He said, \u0153I learned about art throughout these activities and I got to know many friends from various orphanages.\u009d<\/p>\n

\u0153Being students we have our responsibility to serve the society by contributing our ideas and energy towards the well-beings of \u00c2\u00a0the orphans,\u009d Nasuha added.***<\/p>\n
