Al Fitrah Foundation team attended the final day of SMK Pendidikan Khas Setapak’s (SMKPKS) annual sports event on 13th July at UIAM Stadium in Gombak.
Abdul Majid, Huwaida and Hilman had come to watch and cheer on the teams during the sporting events. Abdul Majid mingled with some of the athletes. There was excitement in the air as they ran over the jumps and round the track.
July has been a truly busy month for Al Fitrah’s team. They share the load and work towards making things happen for all.
Visually Impaired Awareness Workshop
10 & 11.07.23. Abdul Majid, Al Fitrah’s Head of Editorial and Publishing, was invited to participate as a facilitator at a corporate workshop to raise awareness on the importance of including visually impaired brothers and sisters in the Malaysian society.
Majid has been trained to facilitate such sessions and hopes to continue to contribute in any way he can to raise awareness on this topic.
At the week-long event attended by employees of a local investment group, the workshops were held in a dark room. At first the participants felt uncomfortable doing activities in the dark, but after adapting to the situation, they were able to perform all tasks smoothly.
On Friday mornings, Majid starts the day with a brief Tazkirah with his crew on topics about Islam, or surahs from the Holy Quran or stories about our Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) and the Sahabahs. These topics act as a reminder and guidance for our purpose here, the good that we do on earth and the deeds that we bring to the Hereafter.
The weekly sessions are important to each team member.
