Sajid Ahmed Umar – ICI Nursery Zimbabwe

			I'm at the Islamic Cultural Institute nursery, in Harare, Zimbabwe. Masha Allah. This is a community
nursery.
		

			Founded by the Muslims of Harare, it's a nursery that I attended a long, long time ago mashallah
Tabata Kala and it's still running and servicing the community in a phenomenal way. This is the
playground area and they're having an open day today Mashallah. And there's pony rights and jumping
castles in addition to everything else the playground has to keep the kids happy and entertained
whilst their parents are learning about their progress.
		

			If we zoom in a little bit more, you'll see they have the spinning boob
		

			and the children are taking their chances on it
		

			will go
		

			children are very happy Mashallah.
		

			Wonderful, wonderful. Premises well maintained Masha Allah Tabata, Allah.
		

			There's a range of activities that the Institute runs for the children archery, as you can see the
archery targets present there and that is run once a week professionals come in and train them. It
also has a little pool
		

			How many times do you come across the nursery with a dedicated pool for the kids it's obviously
winter now in the southern hemisphere.
		

			So
		

			no swimming lessons currently, but in the summer hamdulillah the children get some lessons as well
mashallah to vertical and this is just the back end of
		

			the nursery and handler have a wonderful series of classrooms and premises that make up the front of
the nursery all the way over there insha Allah perhaps if we get a chance, we will capture that so
we are on the other side of the wall Mashallah. And look over here. There's a little garden
agricultural patch
		

			for the children to plant
		

			and learn
		

			Masha Allah Nevada law
		

			and you can see the little flags with the names on them.
		

			Each child has planted something and have flagged the planting with their names mashallah and we see
the classes as well
		

			embedded
		

			and you can see the outer part of the nursery there's some good land and over here there under
school sports today
		

			that's happened earlier in the year mashallah, they have good space for that as well. And this
premises is also part of the Islamic Cultural Institute hamdulillah
		

			So, here we have the land that I mentioned earlier that is used for the sport today there currently,
there's clearly some maintenance going on. Well hamdulillah as you can see this Goodsprings
mashallah and They line them and the kids do all the different races
		

			all the different races that are unique to nursery goes Masha Allah and here you can see the
entrance mashallah to the university to the nursery, rather, and mashallah the
		

			mashallah vast plains of the Cultural Institute where the cars get parked. And then over here, you
see the entrance
		

			to the nursery, and
		

			as mentioned, they're running an open day so they're meeting the parents and letting the parents
know off the progress of each child.
		

			Mashallah, so there's a range of classrooms and very friendly environment, well designed, colorful,
vibrant, mashallah vertical law, and you can
		

			see the different doors that lead to the different classrooms, we won't be going into the classrooms
because currently, teachers are meeting
		

			the different parents so we don't want to disturb that process. But hamdulillah there's so much to
see you can see some of the work of
		

			the children
		

			plastered on the boards ahead. And the classrooms too, are filled with mashallah much of the
progress of the kids as well.
		

			And here is PD the nursery tortoise mashallah, it's his eight year at the nursery keeps the young
kids company Mashallah. And sometimes, if we standing in his way he comes and nudges us.
