By the People, For the People Mobile App ; Mankiwaa



People are taking charge. With the initiation of a ground breaking app, Mankiwwa has entered Sri Lanka.
Mankiwwa is a mobile app which is made with sole purpose for us the public to report day to day incidents to your local authorities.

This helps you reports day to day incidents like garbage or leaks of the road, emergencies on the road due to an accident or the collapse or a tree, the is taking steps into disaster management and even more serious issues like missing persons.

The app is truly simple basically take a picture of video under the specific incident, e.g.: robbery, broken road, landslide, or an unrecognized parcel and submit. It picks up you location (where location has to be on, on your smart mobile) and app informs the relevant authority.

Due to the sensitivity of the reports submitted the user shall always remain anonymous. The dashboard shall alert you on incidents that require announcements but no images or videos shall be ever displayed.

This is empowering us the public to take charge of our immediate surroundings. ManKiwwa is on the go on approaching government bodies, and other official authorities to make way to this by people for the people mobile app island wide.

Challenges



This is something I am still struggling to face head on.

Many years earlier into my working career I learnt sometime I am given tasks that are beyond me.
Firstly, I was very discouraged, simple thought process your washing your hands-off work and dumping on me. Years later anger turned to frustration this sent on a resentment spiral of people.
With the experience years of work grew, I learnt I am feeding my mind at a fast speed pace. A pace that left me constantly hungry, I always need to breakdown and know the why and the how? Most people now portrait this obsession of mine, as a negative.

How I over challenges that were put up against me like a wall was purely selfish. I understood what is taught to you, what you self-learn or any hurdle you over is a benefit on you. What is learnt by you cannot be stolen, this is all you. This was you hard work that paid off not for others but for yourself, this is greater experience that can make you a better employee and a person.

This constant hunger let me over most challenges put up against me, the first thought I always now think is what can I get off this lesson that I am trying to overcome. Don’t let is misguide you thinking I face all of my challenges head on and with confidence yes, I shall have a smile upside down but yet try to accomplish it. There are many challenges I have not faced yet and still have to face.

This trait can make you a more reliable friend, family member or employee.

Next challenge, think what can I learn off this to my life’s curriculum vitae.

Cheers!

Maldives Political crisis: Tourism Industry greatly affected as Tourists book for Peaceful Mauritius

The Maldives Archipelago is in crisis, this small island of a population of 500,000 inhabitants will now see its tourism industry seriously affected by the ongoing political crisis. Maldives usually welcomes about 1 million tourists yearly who come to enjoy the nice beaches and excellent climate. This archipelago located in the Indian Ocean is also one of the favorite destinations for international celebrities. The travel operators all over the world are monitoring the situation in Maldives closely.

Maldives tourism faces $100 Million loss because of political crisis and riots
The Maldives unrest is in all media worldwide, the tourism industry is greatly affected. Resorts have noted more than 500 booking cancellations because of the political instability in the country. Although the Tourism Ministry has released a statement that the political unrest in the country is now under country and the political gatherings are done only at night, this will not be enough to convince foreigners to come to the archipelago.
 
Tourists who had booked for Maldives hotels and are now reluctant to go the unstable country are most welcome to come to Mauritius. Mauritius is an island where there is no political instability and tourists can walk during the day as well as night without any fear. Accommodations on the island is typified by luxury beach hotels and there are even private islands. Mauritius also has a lot of great attractions and shopping malls.
