BUYING RAYA CLOTHES FOR THE BOYS

With the collection of money to buy festive clothes for the orphans and needy children, a few of the teachers and I were ready to carry out the task that we had set out to do. We had set Monday to take the boys for shopping. Cikgu Daniel, Cikgu Kamariah, Puan Asiah and I were waiting for two of our colleagues, CikguAli and Cikgu , who had gone to fetch the 12 boys from the Centre in Lekir. Puan Kamariah and Puan Asiah would help the boys choose their Baju Melayu (traditional Malay attire) while Cikgu Daniel and I would be taking photographs. As the treasurer, I'd be settling the bill after all the clothes have been chosen. The boys also bought new sandals to go with their Baju Melayu.
One of the orphans, Iz, is a student in our school, and he came along with us. So he was the first to choose his Baju Raya and also Kopiah (a type of headgear).

Here Kamariah is helping him to choose his festive clothes.
