Hi folks!
Sri Lankans are normally and unintentionally very much like to get the free stuff from others. Whether they are are valuable or not!
Recently I’ve conducted two day workshop for the A/L IT Students. According to the government statistics ,
Uva Province has the lowest IT literacy in the whole country. I don’t know why and how this has happened. This is the true digital divide as I think.

I have shared some of my thoughts and experience with them freely because I think it is PRICELESS!!!
With me there were three speakers, My friend Rohana and Osada.Thanks Guys for the sessions
The workshop was a tremendous success for a pilot project. Most of the students in Badulla District who are learning ICT as their core subject in Advanced Levels participated for this. Some of the students said that they don’t have an IT teacher in school for guide them.
Finally I would like to thank the people behind the scene. Mr Nimal Gunarathne (IT Teacher , Dammannda College, Mirahawatte ) and Dr.Jayalath Atthanayake for providing facilities for conduct the workshop.
and I will upload the pictures soon…
Kalinga Ayye, my heartiest thanks for you and your friends for the great service you have done for us. According to my point of view, you didn't only polish our brains with IT knowledge. But you showed us who we are, what we can do and the correct path. You spoke to our hearts and taught us how to win the life with showing the reality of life. "LIFE IS NOT FAIR" I agree with you ayye.
Actually the workshop was for two days. And it is PRICELESS ayye. Also we understood your lessons very well.
Finally I want to say that you are a priceless gem in Uva province / in Sri Lanka / in world.
