stories from maldives
inside - Death of my dad.He died of chronic renal failure.
This required renal transplantation and haemo dialysis.
We do not have adequate medical personnel to cater a population of over 200,000 and Maldives been a developing country, lacks modern techno-medical facilities.
outside - Poor health services and lack of higher educational facilities in a country not only affect an individual but the entire nation.
future - IT dominated life.

inside - Looking after nature is a responsibility for all of us and
recently when I went for snorkelling I've found that a reef which was badly damaged
due to removing corals being revitalised. This inspired me because when I saw
the difference after 5years it's marvelous. Let's give a big hand to the
president M. Gayyoom of the Rep.of.Maldives for caring the nature and ....... making
this a peaceful place to live.
outside - It's Internet mania and I was affected because I can't afford
the high Internet charges here in the Maldives. To get an idea of what I'm
talking heres more:- If you want to get connected to the Super Highway for
registration you have to pay US$100.00 and a monthly fee of US$25.00. It's not all....
you got to pay US$0.20cents per minute in peak time (0800pm - 0800am) and
US$0.15cents per minute in the low time (0800am - 0800pm). I'm badly affected by this
local event....... No matter what it is you can't live without Internet.
future - 100 years from now life would depend on computers because you
need a computer for everything. No doctors, No teachers, No Schools etc. When you
buy a computer, pre-installed Doctors, Teachers, Schools, Universities etc
could be bought. Remember! all you need is a computer.......
