MSAI

The Maldivian students in JIPMER, India have started an online community project ' The Maldivian Students Abroad Initiative ', which aims to bring the thousands of students from Maldives studying abroad on a common platform for exchange of views and ideas on a range of subjects and issues.

The web page (http://www.maldivianstudents.com) launched on 02.09.2006 is still in its infancy and is essentially a forum, which also includes a Student Guide that will hopefully be useful to aspiring students back home on the options available to them. The forum if successful will give way to healthy exchange of ideas between Maldivians doing higher studies abroad and will hopefully evolve into a 'Vox Populii', if you will, that will contribute its just share to the continuing development of Maldives.

For the record, our goal is not political, but given the fact that the youth (college goers in our case) makeup the substantial chunk of our tiny population, we hope to play however a small part, by discussion and free flow of thought. The future of our small home is after all, undeniably, in our hands. We seek no affiliations and all we ask is the participation and support from all well-wishers, to make this forum a success.

So I'm inviting all Maldivians doing higher studies abroad to join our forum :)
