Event Report : RYCamp

And so..

Arrijal kicked off the fasting month with a 2 days 1 night RamadanYouthCamp (RYCamp). dengan jumlah peserta yang bernomborkan 25, we geared ourselves for a 3-hr community service named Do Good Feel Good. this is the 2nd Do Good Feel Good actually and the 2nd yr as well collaborating with Serangoon Garden Sec's Girl Guides and NCC *thank u alot guys*. to make things more interesting, our community service is covered by Suria's Warna Ramadan! but of course that's not the point of having this effort. at e end of the day, Arrijal and the rest did it to contribute to our society, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. we gave bubur, fruits and nasi briyani.

interestingly tho, almost 60% of the residents declined to take the things that we charity-ed! well they may have their reasons but we suspect that our community's not that comfortable YET having free food sent at their doorstep. hehe

the highlight of the first day was the Bowling For Soup! we bowled, we laughed and we hit the "longkang" more often than not. lol. lepas buka and terawih, Khairuzaman gave a hearty Halaqah session and followed it by a short Qiyam few hours afterwards with Zaidi.

the 2nd day was epitomised by the mass Gathering at Masjid Assyakirin. it was attended by 500+ mosque youths who attended RYCamps at their respective mosques! punyalah pack dan banyak org. we were touched by Ustaz Sofyan's meaningful reflection session and some shed tears. what a sight to behold.the event ended afterwards at Al-Istiqamah and the participants were given free Translated Al-Qur'an! Alhamdulillah.

lesson learnt? like what Firdaus said during the interview: "Ramadan bukan sahaja bulan untuk beribadah, tapi ia adalah peluang untuk berbakti dan membantu masyarakat kita.." helping others especially during Ramadan is a noble deed. May Allah bless us for the effort given in the camp.
