"Thinadhoo Support for Maldives as a Wonder of Nature" started last night in Thinadhoo Kulhivaru Park (Basketball Court Area). The event was scheduled to start at 4pm yesterday evening, but due to rain the event was rescheduled to start at night. Voting for Maldives was carried out between 8pm and 11pm.
There is overwhleming support from the public for the program. Several poeple of different age groups visited the area and casted a a vote for Maldives and selected their choices for wonders of nature. Totally 171 people voted last night.
"We had several people visiting last night. 171 people voted last night and some of them include expatriates in the island. If internet connection was a little bit faster, we could have even got more people to cast vote" said Mohamed Noozam, the in-charge of the program.
Internet connection was taken from a shop near-by the area and a home user connection was shared for the program. The only ISP in the island was asked for internet provision about a week in advance, however the ISP was not able to provide internet to the area despite being located just around the corner of the event avenue.
Despite the technical difficulties, CHOCO staff organising the event is happy with the overall organisation and support from the public.
There were also several entertainment activities run together with the voting. Teknik, the local Bodu Beru band, was playing live music. There was also documentaries regarding the environment being shown in the area. CHOCO informs that since the target crowd was the locals, the envrionmental documentaries are targeted to aware the locals regarding the fragilities of our environment and highlight the need to preserve the Maldivies from future environmental calamities and things locals can do about it.
CHOCO would like to thank the members who worked hard to carry out this event and all the volunteers who assisted in the program in many ways.
The event will be continued today also from 8pm till midnight.
