The distribution of
200 free PCs to places of worship which conduct computer

Wanathavilluwa and I decided to launch my project from
Wanathavilluwa to prove how Internet can reach even the
remotest villages. For those of you who are not sure of the
geography of the area, Wanathavilluwa is just south of the
Wilpattu Wild Life Sanctuary in the north of Puttalam
district. |
