Kuramathi Maldives has celebrated World Environment Day, syncing its activities with this year’s theme of ‘Reconnecting with Nature’.
In an announcement, the resort said its team members demonstrated their arts and crafts skills in the first ever exhibition held at the Champagne Loft in the afternoon. Using everyday items and materials, they showcased brilliant articles such as a flower made out of coconut husks and plastic bottles, skilful painting on wood, dreamcatchers made out plastic bottles and ornaments crafted out of recyclable objects, it added.
“Later in the evening, a special documentary was screened to promote awareness of the changing climate and of our fragile yet captivatingly beautiful planet Earth, at Fung Bar and Laguna Bar,” the announcement read.
Kuramathi is also preparing to mark the next big event, World Oceans Day on Thursday.
