The month of fasting and blessing was here again. In conjunction
with this holiest month, we decided to mark our calendar with another
meaningful event by organizing “Majlis Berbuka Puasa & Sambutan Hari Raya”.
The event was held in Bangi Golf Resort for its second consecutive
years and for this time around, we have invited 10 single mothers and 62
childrens and from Rumah Nur Hikmah Kajang to rejoice the Ramadhan Dinner
together with us.

Responsible committee members for Ramadhan Dinner reached the
venue an hour earlier to ensure the Ballroom was perfectly and smoothly
arranged. Foods have been served as earlier as 6:00pm due to overwhelming
crowds throughout the fasting month.
Around 6.15pm, we have welcomed the single mothers and orphanages
to the dinner hall to be seated comfortably while waiting for remaining guests
to arrive. Soon after that, our honorable guest, Elabram Systems Directors
arrived and mingled around with the rest of the crowd.
The Clubhouse (restaurant outside the hall) was decorated with
Hari Raya theme to grasp diner’s attention by bringing in the “raya” vibes
close to us.
The alluring smells from the array of mouth-watering foods
prepared was irresistible that everyone was eagerly looking forward to it:)

from the homes to say a few words.
The
evening was drawing to a close as soon as Goody Bags and "Duit Raya"
were presented and handed out as a gift. There was pure joy
and happiness on the faces for these special children and single
mothers on that eventful night.

Small contribution to Rumah Nur Hikmah |
In spite the
exhausted feeling, we felt contented as we finally managed to achieve our CSR
programme objective by "giving back to society".
The joyous and blissful moment produced will surely remain as a long cherished
memory for the homes as well as for us in Elabram Systems.
The guest soon bade
farewell and departed around 10pm.
Group photos were
taken to commemorate the special evening. Last but not least, we would like to
wish all our Muslim colleagues with " Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir &
Batin" from all of us in Elabram Systems Sdn Bhd.
