Home ICT Network

The Principle director and supervisor of this project is Mr. W. M. C. R. K. Dissanayake. He opened a private computer educational institute in Hambantota. after his secondary education in 1998. This institute provide modern IT at a reasonable host for poor school children. At present this service has rapidly expanded. It is a common thing to assemble a computer by these children. The technical knowledge was given by our institute at a very reasonable cost.

Though they are selected for the university entrance, They do not have the knowledge of IT and English. I could identify this major problem and enlighten them IT.

I started and other project named “ Home ICT Network” and we are donated 150 second hand computers among 123 young volunteer. Each of them trained the basic knowledge of IT to neighboring children about 40 and they are enjoyed as their own property. This poor innocent children put follow ABCD… out of these computers, Thanking to our home ICT Project. We instructed and guided them for their problems. Over 4000 school children were enlighten free of charge with the help of project. In addition to this, they could get and additional income by writing CDs, Printing, Graphic designing etc. They could get employment after one years time due to their skills.

Mr. Dissanayake was not much interested in internal studentship, because he was so busy with his IT work at present he is waiting for his final exam results. ( External Degree ) at the Ruhuna University.

I could participate in Mission 2005 held in New Delhi, India as a successful Nanasala operator in the year 2005.

I could obtained NVA fellowship and to participate in a workshop held by Mission 2007, Jemestaji TATA Virtual Academy in New Delhi, India in the year 2007.

I was lucky enough to select as the first forty competitors among thousand competitors in the world at the “ Young Social Entrepreneurship “ held by GK3 in the year 2007, in Kula Lumpur - Malaysia. I could participate in a workshop and could gain lot of experience.
