HDC adds zebra crossing at young boy’s request

Hulhumale’ Development Corporation (HDC) has drawn a zebra cross at the request of a young boy living in Hulhumale'.

The young boy had written a letter about a month prior, addressing the Managing Director of HDC. In it, he asked to paint a zebra cross so he may cross the road safely.

“I am writing to ask if you can paint a zebra crossing in front of my building so we can cross safely,” read the handwritten letter.

The boy’s mother on Wednesday shared a picture on social media of the pair crossing Fithiroanu Magu, from the freshly painted zebra crossing.

Along with the post, the mother shared that HDC granted her son’s request. She also revealed that HDC had met with her son following the letter.
