Happy with New Books: Children at Baitul Izzah proudly displaying the 1st batch of books delivered
18 Jan 2009
We have identified Book Haven's 2nd Library Project & it will be Rumah Anak Yatim Baitul Izzah located at Pinggiran Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI). This home has 12 orphaned girls who are now taking complimentary English lessons at the famous Lorna Whiston Study Centre in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. The Baitul Izzah girls have been going to the Centre for English lessons since 2004.
We've asked Lorna Whiston's Head Teacher, Ms Jenny Strachan to provide some recommendations on the types of books to buy & she has given us the "shopping list".
We'd be looking at furnishing the mini-Library at Baitul Izzah with some book shelves & have purchased the 1st batch of books & delivered on 18 Jan 2009.

About Baitul Izzah
Managed by Sudi Kurnia Sdn Bhd, Baitul Izzah, Pinggir Taman Tun Dr Ismail is a shelter for the unfortunate children. Here, these children are nurtured, cared and protected. Living with other children of the same faith while fostering family ties, they get to understand and support each other giving them the confidence of having a bright future. They need love, care, protection and guidance until they are fully independent.
At Baitul Izzah, we do our very best to nurture and guide these children. We provide religious and academic teaching in order for them to grow physically and mentally. We hope that they will be a better person, independent and would be able to contribute to the society and nation.
Objectives
- To protect, nurture, guide and care for the unfortunate children
- Produce a younger generation who are physically and mentally equal
- To produce a Muslimah generation who are capable in every field they venture into so that they can contribute to the religion, race and nation
- Instill good moral values to produce a wise and noble individual
