The HAVALI NGO FAIR was held at Dharubaaruge from 16th – 18th March 2019, organized by Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment.
It is a Platform for NGOs to learn from their peers and subject area experts through keynote speakers and expert panels and identify areas of mutual benefit for collaboration. It will allow NGOs to showcase their work and exhibit products that they have produced.
President, His Excellency Ibrahim Mohamed Solih visited our Stall at the FAIR. It was a great honor and privilege to welcome His Excellency the President and talk about Amateur Radio.
During the three days of the FAIR, we had the opportunity to talk to a lot of NGOs from all over Maldives. Overall, we had a good crowd. We were grateful for a lot of people including some ministers who stopped by at our Stall and listen to our concerns.
