The Maafushi Tree Planting Day was made even more meaningful with an educational scavenger hunt organized by Secret Paradise Maldives for more than 30 Little Cubs, STARS, and Grade 2 students from Maafushi School. The students had fun exploring their school courtyard, collecting leaves, seeds and flowers of the trees planted during the Tree Planting Day event, and created a vibrant artwork using the materials collected during their scavenger hunt.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Maafushi School and Secretariat of the Maafushi Council, Male' Atoll for their assistance and support in making the event a success.

On the occasion of Environment Day 2026, grade 5 students at Huraa School transferred seedlings they had grown from seeds into planter boxes.

Additionally, Grade 4 students planted new seeds in pots and garden beds, encouraging more children to participate in the initiative while contributing to its growth and care.

Thank you to Huraa School for your continued partnership for the Health Promoting Schools Initiative. We look forward to expanding the garden initiative and inspiring the next generation of climate warriors
