Bank of Maldives BML's Community Fund helps open an outdoor reading park at Sh. Milandhoo School.

The park was opened by the island-based NGO, Milandhoo Sports Club.

The outdoor reading park is established as part of Milandhoo School’s 75th Anniversary with the aim of instilling a love for reading.

Vice President of Milandhoo Sports Club Ahmed Sameeh said that the club hoped that with this initiative, the students get the opportunity and space to experience and understand the importance of reading.

He thanked BML and the Women’s Empowerment Organization in Milandhoo for supporting this initiative.
