It is the place where you feel secure, loved and taken care of. It is the place where you can do your personal activities with privacy. It is the place where you look forward to being after school or after play so you can rest, sleep, relax and be with your family.

This is where the family gathers for recreational activities; converse with family members and friends, celebrate occasions such as birthdays, reunions and anniversaries. ★ Bedroom- This room provides the privacy that each family member need to have for their personal needs and interests.
