Learning Business with Fun

After a very long time I m now posting on my Blog.

Recently we (i myself and my kids) have got an opportunity to participate in a Kid's event held in our compound, which was actually an exhibition for children to show their skills or talent and have stall to sell their creative work.

My 9 years old son Saadi loves of ORIGAMI, so we decided to have a stall where we can display his outstanding origami work.

It was a wonderful experience for us to explore and learn. So I decided to share this activity and it's educational aspects and how we went through whole week in the preparations for exhibition.

1. Family Bonding:

This event help us to refresh our Bonding with each other through discussions, sharing of ideas, by making a working strategy like
     a - Who will be the investor of our Business and This is no one but BABA of course :)
     b- Who among us will be a working partner and that is MAMA & SAADI (my second son  9 year            old)
     c- and a service provider who is BHAYYA (eldest son , 12 years old)

2. Pure Connection with ALLAH (SWT)

Before starting any work , I told my sons about Salat ul Hajat, and we all prayed 2 rakats and make this dua
Oh Allah we have planned and you are the best Planner please
     a - make it easy for Us
     b- Help us
     c- make it complete
     d- and accept our efforts

Similarly after a successful exhibition we prayed Salat ul Shukr and Thanks Allah(SWT) without HIM it couldn't be such HIT.

3. Learning Business Ethics in the Light of Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH):

a - It has been decided that we will must give some Sadaqa from our earning.
b - we will must inform our customers about our product if it has any fault or damage (as the stuff created with paper is not that durable)
c - If someone returns any thing to us we will welcome them without any argument .
d - and we recited a masnoon dua of entering in a market.

4. Learning Social Sciences:

This area covers Confidence, Public dealing, Presentation skills and also we learned and observed a lot through other participant's stalls.

5. Learning Business Maths:

a - A part from making different things from paper We made Sale Invoice that is given to every customer.
b - A sheet is also designed to record available balance, received amounts, returned amounts etc.
c - And in last , percentage of every member had been calculated so that our business can be closed properly i.e
      - Sadqa from our Profit
      - 10% of investment returned to Baba
      -  Service Charges given to Bhayya
      -  Remaining amount equally distributed between working partners (Mama and Saadi)

So this is it!
A little Fun activity that Teaches us a lot.
Attached are some pictures and a video of our Stall , hope you like it.
Any suggestion related to this post will be much appreciated....

کتاب دوستی

کمپیوٹر برآمد کتابت برخاست جناب رضا علی عابدی کا یہ قول اُس زمانہ کا عکاس ہے جب اردو کتابت کے مشکل اور صبر آزما مرحلے کو کمپیوٹر ٹیکنالوجی نے آسان بنا دیاتھا۔ اور اردو کی ترویج و ترقی میں کمپیوٹر سافٹ وئیر نے ایک اہم    کردار ادا کیا تھا۔          ہمارے دور کا المیہ یہ ہے کہ موجودہ نسل کمپیوٹر اور جدید ٹیکنالوجی (جس میں مختلف قسم کے گیمز، موبائل فون وغیرہ شامل ہیں)کے بے پناہ اور بے فائدہ استعمال کے آگے کتاب کو ہاتھ میں لینا ہی بھول گئی ہے۔یعنی کمپیوٹر برآمد کتاب برخاست کہا جائے تو کچھ غلط نہ ہوگا۔ اس ضمن میں والدین کا کردار بہت اہمیت رکھتا ہے ہم شروع سے ہی چھوٹی چھوٹی عملی کوششوں کے ذریعے بچوں کا کتاب سے تعلق نہ صرف مضبوط بنا سکتے ہیں بلکہ انھیں کتابوں پر تبصرہ کرنا، اپنی آراء کا اظہار کرنا ، اپنے دوستوں کو کتابوں کا حوالہ دینا اور اسطرح کی دیگر تخلیقی اور مثبت سرگرمیوں میں مصروف رکھ سکتے ہیں بس شرط یہ ہے کہ والدین کتب بینی کی اہمیت کو سمجھیں اور اس کا عملی نمونہ بھی پیش کریں۔ book sharing activityاس پسِ منظر کے ساتھ میں نے  اپنے گ...
