As part of the initiative, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort contributed to their local community by renovating a primary school in the nearby island, Hulhudeli. A team of more than 40 volunteers joined Blair, to transform the school of 12 years into an enjoyable space where children cherish can their childhood and learning experience, the resort said in a statement.
