The Ta’mir of our own Lamongan Shorbase Al-Kautsar mosque put together a schedule to visit the Orphanages in the areas surrounding Lamongan Shorebase. This year, 2017, we visited an orphanage in Blimbing village which is home to more than 40 orphans. We spoke with the head caretaker of this orphanage, and he shared with us his struggles to keep this orphanage running and to provide the best for those under her care. Sharing our good fortune and prayers with them, we handed out donations, gifts, and dished out meals to all. We hope to meet them again in the future with more opportunities to share stories, food, and good fortune.
Month: June 2017
Santunan Panti Asuhan Sunan Drajat
Annually, we organize a charity pray and dine event with the Sunan Drajat Orphanage. We are constantly working on further developing our relationship with the Orphanage, its leaders and children. Then event was opened with a short speech by Pak Edi, who is the head of the Orphanage. Everyone filled their bellies with food and filled the air with joy and laughter. Good bags were then handed out to all the children in the orphanage at the closing of the event.

This is the first year holding the Da’wah contest. Ta’mir of Al-Kautsar mosque in Lamongan Shorebase, initiated this contest to allow participants to show off their public speaking skills and engage attendees in understanding more about the holy month of Ramadan. The local Ustadz was the judge during the competition; winners and runner ups were awarded with various interesting prizes.
