I'm not too sure if u cud help me out with my issue but thought i'll give it a try.
I'm searching for my ancestors who has come to Sri Lanka from Scotland. They are also Cunninghams.
My mother is Kareena Hesther Anne Cunningham. My grand father is Richard Allison Bannatine Cunningham & he worked in the Sri Lanka Army.
His father is Richard Cunningham who worked for Troy State. And Richard's father is Owen Allison Bannatine Cunningham & he was a planter. His father has come to Sri Lanka from Scotland & we dont kno his name or any of his details But we found out that he was married to an Irish lady.
Are you familiar with any of these names?
Waiting for a quick response

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.
01 The people who can spend their vacation in Sri Lanka and should have a ability to develop the English knowledge of our village children.
02 If you cant do like that you can discuss deferrent idea with our members in Virtual society and can improve their English knowelege by writing to a social Network.
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.
04 About the online courses you know and that can introduce to our children

How are you? Thank you for your comment. My project is Coastal Rural Knowledge Center. It is situated Kutubdia Island. It is an Island of Bay of Bangal. My district is Cox.sbazar. Country is Bangladesh. Do you know Cox.sbazar is the biggest sea beach in the world? My kutubdia has no electricity. I have some 300 watt solar panel. This solar penal gave me electricity. When the sky is cloudy then I cannot work properly. I have 3 laptop and Internet connection. In my island their is no internet connection without me. So every one came and meets me. I give them information which they need. My CRKC is a social Enterprise. Many people in Kutubdia are illiterate. So I have initiated for the enterprise feeling Social responsibility for the inhabitants of the island. In kutubdia there are no Electricity, no Computer Facilities, no Internet Connection but many school madrasha and one college here. Many students have no idea to ICT but they need their ICT knowledge. So I am trying to develop them. I have trained 66 students. Now 36 learners are getting the training. Many people came for browsing. They get information with internet. They get job information, weather, disaster, daily weekly newspaper. Basically this enterprise is ICT based. I am giving all the service mentioned above are the out come of ICT. We are gathering information through internet using ICT related technology and equipment finally font of the service are using for communication.
I have an idea .It is Knowledge volunteer. A knowledge volunteer is a person of local community. He/She will must College pass. I trained them. They will go Local community, farmer, fisherman, and other people for collect information. They will Search the internet, collected information from CRKC and others. which they had get information from their local community and give them advice and solution.
