First Lady Madam Sajidha Mohamed has appealed on integrating cultural history into everyday life. She made the appeal on Thursday while speaking at the inauguration of the 'Dhivehi Sagaafee Goathi' by the Maldives Correctional Service (MCS) at Maafushi Prison.
In her remarks, the First Lady emphasised the benefits of integrating the Maldives' rich cultural history into everyday life. She further highlighted that President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's national policy of reviving nationalism has important objectives, meanings and benefits.
The First Lady stated that reminiscing about the cultural history of the Maldivian people shows a society free from social diseases and a prosperous and proud Maldives. Emphasising Maldivian culture and heritage details, the First Lady stated that solutions to societal problems can only be derived from reviving nationalism.
The 'Dhivehi Sagaafee Goathi', inaugurated in Maafushi Prison, is a traditional Maldivian house that showcases Maldivian culture and traditions and displays several traditional and cultural artefacts.
The 'Dhivehi Sagaafee Goathi' will be used during the rehabilitation process of Maafushi Prison inmates to provide training opportunities for traditional craftsmanship.
