More from the Maldives

It’s not just the President of the country and his Cabinet who are mobilizing for 350 in the Maldives.  In fact, at times it seems like the entire country has joined in the action.  There are currently more than 15 actions registered across the country — with a population of just 350,000 thousand!

And they are also not waiting until just 24 October to get started.  Today our friends at ECOCARE organized thousands of school children to form a huge 350 aerial formation in the Hemveiru Stadium in Male’.  Check it out… (more photos, and video, to come).

And there are still more photos from the underwater cabinet meeting to come as well.
