Today we got a visit, Nihiluwa Vidyalaya from Beliaththa. Some of students, teachers and a monk came here and we shared our knowledge. We did little lessons, like Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver. I think they are very clever students and they got big experiences about that. Actually, we did work with together and we got more experience about how we teaching to students. It’s a really nice visit and think all of us got good experience.

It was so glad to meet some friends and teachers from Nihiluwa Vidyalaya in Beliaththa today at Horizon Lanka. They visited us to see how Horizon works and wanted to learn from us. We are a model to all of the other organizations in Sri Lanka. They wanted to learn about the Internet and web design. I really am happy to say that I was able to be a teacher for 2 hours to them and taught them Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Dreamweaver as a close friend. I think they learned something from my small lesson. I am very happy about that opportunity. I met good friends and I could improve my knowledge by teaching. I am happy about that. And also I would like to thank all of them for coming to Horizon Lanka Foundation.
I would like to have some opportunities like that in the future and I like to give the maximum what I have learned. Thanks!

Today, we could get many experiences with new visitors from Beliaththa. They said that Horizon is like wonderland and they also want to get ideas from us to improve their IC knowledge. I was very happy about lessons and always I like to give my knowledge to them. At this moment I’m very happy referring to our situation and I could improve my knowledge too. This is good method to share knowledge with our friends around the world wide.

Some students from Nihiluwa Maha Vidyalaya came to Horizon Lanka and we shared our knowledge with them while enjoying. They came here at 11th of May. They attended to many computer lessons with us and had a nice experience. Arriving visitors from many schools to the schools like horizon is a very important way to make a good friendship with many pupils around Sri Lanka. We can make new pen pals inter schools for share news and also knowlades. That’s a very good way for schools to upgrade their ICT experience. We should make one network of schools in Sri Lanka and present a nice learning mode to future in full of harmony.

There is another visit group from NIhiluwa Maha Vidyalaya from Beliaththa. But it was a different visit than another visit. There were many children and some of teachers form that school. They come for share our knowledge with them. It was very important and it is a example for the another Horizon in South in Sri Lanka. They visit our house and check out our internet connection. I taught them how to create a gmail account and how to operate the account. It was very useful to increase our knowledge. We are happy to meet them and build a friendship with them. We are like to visit them too. Thank you very much for visit us.

Recently some students from computer centers in other villages visited us to learn computer technology. And today also some students and teachers from Beliaththa, Nihiluva Vidyalaya visited us to share the Computer technology. First we introduced them about us and we showed how Mesh network is working here. And also we taught web designing, creating animations, maintaining a blog, and how to use internet. I don’t think that they had enough time for that but I think the get the maximum knowledge until the time. I also like to learn the knowledge from some people in other places like this. By sharing knowledge I think all the people can learn the computer technology and through this we can develop our villages.
