Soccer golden boys , golden day football

This is a very historical photo of the Maldivian National Football Team taken 33 years earlier. The two members of the National Team seen in this picture were chosen to the team by a very special invitation from the Government. Theyare Mr. Ibrahim Abdullah Didi (Rauha) ASA Hithadhoo who won the position of the best forward in 1973 and Mr. Mohammed Anees of ASA from Nooraaneemaage, Hithadhoo who became No 1 Goalkeeper in the national tournament of the same year. Their position in the national team was the same.
It was an honour for their island for them to have been memebers of the national team. They made history and their names will certainly be written in the foot ball history of the country. Especially they contributed their skills to the national team as they played against the Bandaranaike team of Sri Lanka at a time when the region was beginning to be competitive in football. This foto was clicked just before the start of the game then at the national playground. Today weview these palyers as people who left behind them unforgettable golden days in football, the golden boys of Addu Atoll.
Greegings and best wishes on the occassion of the Republic Day to all the national players as well as officials.We welcome you for your contribution to the sport of the country.

A clean environment for a happy life.

A weekly panorama around the area I live.

I am going to review several points of my island about UN pleasant looks. Journey to some locations around my pick
Im not saying these are bad but only when I saw them they struck me as being unpleasant. It is desirable if everyone can try to eliminate this type of scenery. Its not that I admire the idea but its such a nightmare. I have to think about centuries to come. So all should try and prevent this place becoming a junk yard.

The Legend

Starting in 1941, Addu Atoll was developed as advance operational base and provided
a safe anchorage and refueling point for ships of the Royal Navy. An aerodrome and base hospital were situated on Gan and a flying boat base at the southern and of Hithadhoo island manned by the Royal Air Force.

All the large islands had units of the forces stationed on them for purposes of Defance and provision of essential services such as wireless commiunication. prectically all the wartime installation have been removed ,destroyed or over Grown. The destruction was carried out partly by the departing forces in 1945 and completed later by Maldivian them.
