OBLU Xperience Ailafushi and OBLU SELECT Lobigili recently hosted an Educational Marine Tour for 14 students and 4 teachers from Jamaluddin School on February 23, 2023. The tour was led by in-house Marine Biologist, Giorgia Maggioni, who presented information about the various types of fish and coral found in the Maldives. Following the presentation, the students marked the fish they spotted in their Educational Marine Booklet. The initiative is part of the resorts’ efforts to educate school children aged 5-12 years old about marine life and the Maldives’ fragile ecosystem. After the tour, the students enjoyed snacks and drinks at the KIDSX CAMP kids club before leaving the resort.

In addition to the marine tour, OBLU Xperience Ailafushi and OBLU SELECT Lobigili held a fundraising event on February 10, 2023, to donate to a home for people with special needs at K. Guraidhoo. The resorts raised MVR 50,000 and used the funds to procure essential linen for the institute. The resorts’ General Manager, Ram Bhoyroo, and the Resort Management and Welfare Committee visited the institute on February 25, 2023, for a tour and to hand over the collected items. These initiatives align with the resorts’ core philosophy of ‘Joy of Giving’ and their commitment to supporting local communities.
