Just too share what my friend wrote about performing the hajj. It's one of our life aims. InsyaAllah. - Ayah - Hajj with Children by Qhaireel Anwar Khalib on Sunday, 02 January 2011 at 20:00   This is my comment on a Hajj website for our Hajj operator (British Hajj and Umrah Services).  Got an email from the operator about some biased comments on them.  Some people expects 100% trouble free journey just because they've paid for the trip and the Hajj Operators are therefore responsible for everything.  Performing Hajj with Children is indeed an interesting (& rewarding) experience.

It's our world

Our favourite song from Green Balloon Club, CBeebies. It's Our World Song It's our world, we're the children of tomorrow. Yes it's our world, we want the trees and grass to grow. Though we are young we all realise, the little things we do, Make a difference so let's all care for our world. Care for the world, By not wasting precious water. Care for the world, Saving energy so let's all pull together. Every boy and girl, Let's make sure that we recycle every day. Plastic, paper, clothes and bottles, Don't throw them away. It's our world, Everybody everywhere. Yes it's our world, Let's all show how much we care. Though we are young we all realise, there's so much we can do.

Every boy and girl, Let's make sure that we recycle every day. ...
