DHUVAAFARU, Maldives, 28 December 2009 Approaching Dhuvaafaru by boat, you soon notice it is unlike many of the other atolls and islands which form the Maldives. All of the houses are new and organized into neat rows. Mounds of golden sand on the shoreline and the sounds of construction are omnipresent as workers build up the islands defences against rising sea levels.
After years spent in temporary settlements on other islands, the community has been reunited once more. This island has been transformed into a new home for an entire community, displaced from nearby Kandholhudhoo by the tsunami five years ago.
Walking around a newly completed administration building, Island Councillor Ismail Ahmed explained how this is the fulfilment of his dream to have a new home after the tsunami.
It was tough living together in cramped temporary settlements, recalled Councillor Ahmed. Everyone heard everyone elses domestic disputes, and the children suffered.
