Many times we have a preset idea of what should be 'right' and how the conditions should be. Children with their agile mentality are more open for trying different approaches and exploring new angles to what is so familiar to us adults. It is so natural for kids to refuse the concrete boundaries adults so often jail themselves in.

School Chapter 2 - Fish Trip to Huraa -

Guys this is the cont of this
This time im gonna share one of the school class trip.
Since we study Fisheries science, we had to go some island and do some research of fisherman and fisher woman.

It was a Friday. We all fisheries student gathered to school (dharumavantha) 5 early in the morning. Luckily all of 10dee class i belong, was present. Not a single person was absent. That was one soo cool thing about that trip. So about 6 we went to jetty area to load the stuff to dhoani and load our self...hehe...

Have to stay about an hour. At 7 the journey begins. With us 3 of fisheries science teachers, two lab assistance, and some office guy came.

After one hour ride we reach our destiny. Since i have not been in a island recently i was so excited to explore the sunny side of life..hehe.. As i jump offf from the dhoni i notice that the habour was very badly damaged by the 2004 Tsunami. slowly i walk to the worst damaged area. My Fisheries Science Teacher came to me and said this place was very nice when she visited last time before tsunami. That was the First time to wittness the tsunami effected area. This is just the begining. Read more...

After a while the headmaster of Huraa school arrive. He took us to Huraa School. While we was on our way he showed some historical places which was effected by Tsunami. Even there was some houses in re-building process..

I notice that there was no one on the road. It was soo empty. May be because its friday. hehe...Then after the arrival to school We divided in to 5 different groups. Two school Staff leads a group.

First we went for the survery. It was soo much fun to interview with some old cool people. We had a little chitchat. Most of the time i remain in a question mark. They use soo many "professional" dhivehi lafuzu... ekam ves...it went well...While I interview with them i knew how hard our four fathers used to work...n its the same right now also...We have no idea how hard its. They got a busy life...BUT Every time we blog we say we are busy doing nothing....hehe

Okay about the people i met from there...They get little income from the fishing and doing fishing related stuff..and they got lots of challenges... Most of them have more than 5 children..Some they have 10...Man thats lots...hehe..anyways they are working out..They never loose hope...If they are US...We would definitely say something like...life sucks...i cant do this...im fed up....blah blah....but they don't...

After that we had the breakfast. We spend one and half hour on survey. After that we took some break for the Friday prayer. Went for the Friday prayers and we started. Next on our schedule was to snorkel. So we changed our uniform

We have to walk in the sun till we reach beach. It was a sunny hot warm desert day...hehe...Felt like we all are walking in a desert. While we was on our way to beach we saw some people " doani ehelaning" Wow..first time to witness something like this...hehe...and something which show how united we are...all of the people our there was trying to push the dhoani back to sea..Woman, man, girl, boy was involved.. So We took the chance to be a part of it...aaa dhamaa..aaaa dhamaaa...hehe...

Then after that...we start our journey to beach...hehe...the teacher took us to boat yard area. While we went they was working on one of dhoani. it was big and it was a "kavi" work...Again i say...aiy theri vadaamakee ehaame udhagooo ehaame nurahkaahves kamekey...

Soo after all these walk we went for snorkeling..I was doing some experiment with fisheries science teacher since me and some of the guys was too way good for swimming..hehe..we was measuring the current speed and learn how to measure it...and this helps me a lot in me in my exam..finally..i have to say action speaks louder than words...hehe

So after that...We went back to huraa school where our belonging were kept...we had our evening`"koththu" and we packed our bags...Since there was 30 mins left..me and some freinds took a little tour. Saw the huraa "kulhi" it was big nice..but looks like its gonna vanish very soon...hehe...part of it look like gondu.

Anyways After that 30 mins start our journey back to male'...it was a fun trip...It was a trip full with lessons, full with laamaseel people.
Thank you Ms. Arthy, Tommy, ibbe sir and all. N thanks Mausooma medam...Now i end this...hehe..cheeers..
