Year of English & Information Technology 2009 - Sri Lanka
Lunama Village is situated near the coastal plain 150 miles far to the down south from Colombo, The capital of Sri Lanka. The main carrier of this villagers are agriculture and fishing industry. DFOLRL [ District Foundation of Literacy at Rural Level ] organization had started and also that organization started an ICT center of that village in year 2005. Specially rural people can develop their IT knowledge and they can achieve communication facilities from this center as well as they can use Internet and E mail facilities from this. Not only that but also this center helped to develop agriculture and fishing industry. And also information services. Specially build up computer knowledge of this rural children. And also helped from IT technology for the people that doing some different different self employments.
Already rural children had represented to international examinations like e citizen ICDL. Now a days they are following their education with successfully by using computers.
Our organization had got some steps to develop the different government officers and many other parties through out the ICT subject in our district. This year has named as ICT and English language year, by the government. But now these children have a problem. That is they can’t get global knowledge directly because they haven’t good English knowledge.
All Children and youngers who connect with us is studying the English language as subject of their Schools. But they have less chances to use English. Because of that this children weren’t able to be clever in English.
But we try to use the English through the Village. Then we can develop the English knowledge of the people in our Village. and also we try to help them through information technology.
So we kindly ask upon from you please give your ideas and proposals to us, to develop this conditions.

03 If you are a manger of a Tele center you can connect your Tele center holders to our ICT Mini Campus virtual society and can exchange global knowledge.

How U doing Dear ??
Where r the pics dear???
I definitely think we could try to do something together around designing products for your artisans. One of the key challenges I see is that tastes and desing concepts in the markets you are looking at - US & Europe - are different from the countries of production - in your case India. Given the importance of your market, it is imperative to have products that are designed for that market :)
On your other question - I am orginally from SDC and have been on loan to GKP, so to speak, for a bit over 2 years. It has been a very interesting experience. But it is also ok to go back after this time. Good (and less good) things are anywhere.
Let me know if you want to explore something. Would need more information on the type of artisans you work with, materials, existing designs, market segment you want to reach in US & Europe etc.
Take care,
Gabriele
Haven't forgotten that I owe you some longer info on the artsy-writsy-designy stuff :) So here you go: Love to write stories, and have a series of good-night stories for kids ready to be published when I have more time. The main character is the Great Green Elephant. Hope to write more soon. Do a lot of creative stuff at home - main thing is painting, but creativity goes to all sorts of places, so with kids it also takes the form of sewing clothes, drawings, fixing broken things etc. Got a couple of furniture designs in the cupboard, too. And the design of the Forum bag was predominantly mine, too. Hope you liked it - off the beaten track in terms of conference bags, for sure.
Does that qualify as a longer answer ?!? Hope so.
Take care, Gabriele
It was a pleasure receiving your message. Sorry I couldn't get back to you early as I was not in my office due some training activities.
How are you doing dude. How was the closing ceremony? I hope safely traveled to other parts of Malaysia after the GK3, how was the experience?
Thanks again for your kind message. Stay in touch.
Take care and best regards
