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.

Xef - The Maldives Human Right Defender


Its not something like... Police, FBI, CID. But more of a planeteers from the Captain Planet series which we used to watch when we were kids. Remember??!! . haha

So about HRD its a 1 week training organized by Maldivian Democracy Network(MDN). You would love the time they offered... 09:00 AM to 06:00PM. Awesome huh.. I wonder how will i survive whole one week of this..and it was about the "gaanoon's and constitution plus international laws. But it turn out to be very interesting sessions with lots of energizing activities and the awesome meals..keke..

So about the "thing" The Network of Human Rights Defenders project is a volunteer Network of dedicated individuals to advocate for and monitor human rights across the Maldives. This Network gives MDN the ability to promote human rights, assess the human rights situation and monitor specific violations on a nationwide scale. Read more from here :)


During the training some of us came up with the idea to document and do a in depth report,survey of Maldivian "Miskeen". Its really very interesting project and i will be updating my readers with it.
