On the 30th of June was a very special day for the Ruhunulanka academy. The principal, the teachers, parents and students of the Kothalawalapura public school in Rathmalana came to Nihiluwa public school. They wanted to learn from our experiences and knowledge about the E-village concept.
We warmly welcomed them with morning refreshments. Afterwards, they came to the school computer lab.

July 23, 2008
This is the time farmers in our village reap their paddy. They reap the harvest by using traditional and modern methods. I think modern methods are very easy compared to the traditional methods . Some farmers reap their harvest using the manual system while others use modern cutting machines. But they all face many problems reaping the harvest because of heavy rain. They pray to the gods to protect their paddy fields from violent rain. The weather is changing more and more. I think it is caused by man’s harmful activities.
This harvest is a very pleasant and busy time for all our houses. After reaping the harvest, every house is filled with new paddy. A house filled with new paddy is a symbol of prosperity. Every house according to custom, divides a part of the harvest for a “Buddha pooja”. Milk rice made from the new paddy is given as alms to village temple. We then partake in it afterwards, sharing our happiness with others.
