As you can read from our previous post, we’ve been struggling with trying to understand just what the Maldivians are trying to say (to us, or to each other). We also discussed this while teaching our second batch of workshop students, the J-students at the college. The topic of our last day was clear communication and how important it is in news writing (you don’t want to bury the news in the middle of the story!).

We just came across this article describing a trash island in Singapore (their version of Thilafushi, the Maldivian counterpart). Read through this article and marvel at the more environmental way the Singaporeans are disposing of their trash!
