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.

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.

Hi Touhid,
Greetings. I know COAST Trust a little bit and BNNRC also. I hope they are also helping you. Its a great initiatives for the coastal area. Wish all of your success. Your knowledge volunteer program is well enough and I think you can start from some stages ahead if you can consider the Pallitathya (D.Net) database. There are lots of field information on real life which may be match with ur findings.
How are you? Thank you very much for 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.
We are working on a collaborative distance learning.
Maybe it is interesting to do a partnership together to increase our chances.

Well, I work for YES Rwanda (stands for Youth Employment Summit) which is a civil society organisation based in Kigali Rwanda. Our overall aim is to influence national policies and also implement projects so as to increase opportunities for sustainable youth employment.
My specific project which I entered to the GK conference is called mapping. Its basically an online networking facility to a) provide any information on youth employment development and b) to link support organisations to youth groups that will be profiled in our ‘membership’ section. We also aim to launch a physical job centre which will be a major output of the whole project. We have the ambitious mission to create 200,000 jobs by 2012, so it’s busy!
What about you? What is your project?
I want to change the Style of life who to give body and sole together. Who live in an island? I am trying to fill up the gap rural people and urban people.
