Maldives sickens me!
The only time I remember being proud to be a Maldivian was after the last presidential election, when majority of the people voted to oust dictator Gayoom. But that sense of pride and gratefulness that we as a people have enough sense to do good and what is best for us and our children was short-lived. Contrary to "Dhivehinnah veethee fakhuruveri vamaa", there is nothing to be proud of. We, as a people have failed to stop the drug problem that has infested us. We as a people have let lose amongst us pedophiles, murders, and child molesters. We as a people have let our society go from bad to worse right in front of our eyes as if we are not responsible for what it has become. It is not some one else's problem to come and fix.
It is high time that we took action to choose good, do good and be good.
(My prayers are with the little infant who was brutally abused and murdered at the hands of his mother)

why would you let a pedophile teach your child?
I couldn't believe it when I heard that Naseem soa is teaching kids of all ages at his residence. My first thought was "how could any parent take their child to him?". Are we so out of touch with what is right and wrong that we think everything is OK? What does it say about us as a society? My next thought was why the concerned authorities are allowing this to go forward? I hope that their response would not be that there are no laws in place to keep such offenders in check.
NOOR is organizing a rally to question why convicted child abusers are allowed to work in close contact with children and calling for the inclusion of such issues in the bill on child protection being discussed at the parliament.
Please join the rally and call a to stop to this outrage.

poster design concept for disability


poster design concept for the Association for Disability and Development.
The concept was to make people realize how fortunate they are to have their speech, sight, hearing etc , and to reach out to those who don't have those gifts they take for granted.
(While researching to make the posters I found out that there were no data available on the extent of disabilities in Maldives. It seems all the concerned departments were planning to conduct a study)

is anni obstructing justice?

I agree with Anni when he appeals to higher virtues of forgiveness and humility regarding Maumoon. But the current Bill being discussed at the Paliament about special preveliges to Maumoon is a slap on the face for those who suffered at the hands of the previous regime and are seeking justice. People want justice and Anni shouldn't stand in the way.
