Maldivians have been living in these islands more than 3000 years. We have a history. We have a culture. We even have our own language. Even though we are known to the world as the paradise on earth, we remain no more than just a dot on the globe. We continue to fight for survival against forces too powerful for us to control. To make sure we have a home. A home for our family. A home for our children. To ensure our existence and to make sure there is a future for generations yet to come.
