Visit to Hukuru Miskiey

-
We, the Heritagers Club members of Gn. AEC planned to visit and explore different historical sites in Fuvahmulah.

Here I am going to share with you the different sites that we visit on completing our mission. I will provide you the important information about the places and the pictures of those.

On our visit to Hukuru Miskiey, we were unable to gather much information, we searched here and there but could not get any hint of the place, when it was build and  the specialties in there.

So, we requested one lady (Fathimath Ibrahim/ Hunuboli) to provide us with some information about the place, But even she was unable to provide much. But from her we came to know that at the beginning, there was a small place called "Mihuraabuge" in there. Later they built it bigger and used as a mosque. Even at the beginning it was built as a two story building. There was a big well called "Veyo" which was used by the prayers for bathing and ablution. According to her, there was a bridge on that "Veyo". There were two special places in there called "Ziyaaray". In the past Maldivians used to go there and say "Nadhuru". Similarly, these two "Ziyaaray" in Hukuru Miskiey were used for that purpose too.

We interviewed some people about the place. The following information were collected from one of them. Faaroogbe is a well known and respected person in the island and he had gathered a lot of information about these historical sites in Fuvahmulah.
According to him, the Hukuru Miskiey was built approximately 82 years ago, by a person from Huvadhu Atoll (Gadhdhoo) named Maavadi Futhaa . Even at the beginning, it was built as two story building.

In the early days, there were big wells named "Veyo" in Fuvahmulah, which were used for bathing and ablution. In Hukuru Miskiey also, there was one Veyo and a bridge was there over this Veyo (this Veyo must be quiet big hah!). These big wells were buried later, since it was identified as a cause for spreading of diseases.

In Early days, due to different reasons, people were send to the islands (like committing crimes or even in the case of political disagreements with the government). Likewise, a person from Mal'e named Hassan Izzudheen was sent to Fuvahmulah, due to a political problem. He died in the island and was buried in Hukuru Miskiey (at Ziyaaraiy at the backside of the Mosque).

Just in front of the Mosque, there is another Ziyaaraiy. This is the place where Giyaasudheen Radhun's Ibrahim Faamladheyri Kaleygefaan's family members were buried. They were also sent to the island for different reasons.

As this is the end of the year 2012, I just wanted to share with you some of the important things that happened to me during this year. As I have star ted blogging just few days ago,  I  wouldn't  be able to provide you with any detailed information or the pictures. But I will try to give as much information as possible. I went to Sri Lanka three years ago. Me and my hubby, we went there for higher studies. The first few months that we spend there was a somewhat a struggle. But later, the days went smoothly. I had a great group of Maldivians in our HND batch (Mary, Hamty, Niumatty, Mazin, Niya, Thotts, Amradh, Ziya, Xeyn , Munchy and Ammi) And especially ,Asra was one of the first friend I got from there. But she left me so soon and I kept on missing her for the rest of the days. Again, I got some new friends on my final year (Chirey, Thoyyu,Azmil, Salim, Mujey and Sajid). Together we all did a great job. We enjoyed as much as we studied. Saajid was the bo...

Baywatch!! Nice name hah! Well the place is also nice and it is a very famous place for going picnic. I heard the name a lot and was so interested to visit there. I was able to go there with Grade 6 students on an outing (for the first time). They played games which are related to the different subjects they study and from our department we also arranged a game. We planned a Treasure Hunt and it went really well. All the students enjoyed playing the game. On this trip parents also participated. We played “Lava Baazy” and football with them. Some of them were really good in singing. It was interesting. J Again, before the vacation on 21 st November 2012, we planned to go there for a picnic. We went for a half day. All of us finished our school works before noon and went there in the afternoon. We reached there around 1:30 and prepared Noodles, barbecued chicken, Sausage and coke as a drink. Together we all finished cooking really quickly and then all went to swim. I and No...
