Posted by Yafaau's Dad on Sep 26, 2005 in Blogger, General, Website |

Our gallery is having some problems in uploading so I thought to post some thumbnails of the trip on 16th September 2005. This trip was organised by CARE Society and funded by Maldives Inflight Catering Services of Hulhule Airport. I’d like to thank them for this wonderful trip for the parents of CARE Society. The Food, Location and services was excellent and wonderful.

In the boat, it took 3 boats to take us all.

The MICS guys were very helpful.

Huraa, it was a beautiful day and a hot one.

Releasing tension, one of the main goals of the trip

The youth camp campus had lots of shades.

Hmmm? wonder what the plans are.

The activities start after breakfast and stops for Friday prayers followed by lunch and a dip in the sea afternoon. Phew that was really short. hehe?

Sleepy head

Still too early in the morning

The MICS guys preparing breakfast. Yes? it was great.

Following the breakfast, the events started. All the special children were involved in various events some include ?linmbo’ race, ?goani’ race, ?han felhun’? etc. Parents also had fun playing ?faiga thalhaa’, ?bashi’ and many more. By the time everyone was tired, it was time for Friday prayers.

I was very delighted to see one of the older special boy attending Friday prayers and more delighted to see a local huraa guy helping him on his way back to camp by taking him on a motorcycle because the youth camp was quite far.

When I was back, the lunch was ready and Yafaau was sleeping. We took this opportunity and went to have lunch while the special parents below looked after two kids.

Well? this little guy is always sleepy.

Or maybe not!

Everyone was tired and trip back seemed to be very long.

We reached Malé around 6:30 and were back at home at 7. The trip was organized well and the food was excellent as these were the guys from Maldives In-flight Catering Services. We would like to appreciate MICS for organizing this special trip and CARE Society for inviting us as it did help us in many ways.
