Let's call Ruvini next. In the meantime, Wanni, tell me how you go to the next stage.

Wanni
Here you see the second version of the Horizon website. This was last year ...

TMG
I have a question here. You remember I said at the beginning that the village does not even a telephone. Someone I am sure will wonder how you got connected to the Internet.

TMG Chandrasekara, the announcer.

We are meeting you in our program to share knowledge in the field of information technology. A few years ago, in the Anuradhapura area -- 40 kilometres from Anuradhapura -- in Mahavilachchiya village, surrounded by forest, near the Vilpattu Wildlife Sanctuary, the children joined the Internet and conquered the world.

What type of things do you do you to involve the children and to increase their contribution?

Wanni
At this point, I really want to say that more than half the credit for this whole project should go to the parents. I could never have done something like this on my own. When we started, we had no one from outside to help us -- because nobody knew about us. From the very first day until

Now, let's look at what Ruvini and her friends have done.

Wanni

We had a visitor from Kuwait about two weeks back. He brought some computers to the children. This is Ruvini's web page about the visit.

Now the webpages are all done by the children. At the start I did. Then I realised that the children could do a better job. N
