I am Anusha Madhubhashini Karunarathna and I live in the remote Mahavilachchiya village. I am 20 years old and I sat for the GCE A/L on 2003 in the Arts stream. Now I hope to study in Colombo University. Dr. Nimal Perera, Mr. and Mrs. Gaminitillake, Mr. Thushara Vijerathna and the Horizon Lanka have been helping me. I am Sinhalese Buddhist girl. But I like to learn about other religions and nationalities because Sri Lanka is multi religious and multi ethnic.

My family is neither very large nor very small. There are six of us, my mother, father, sister and two brothers. My father is Karunarathna and mother is Dayawathi. My parents are farmers. My sister is Aruni Pradeepika and brothers are Chamara Pradeep and Darshana Prasad. I am the eldest in my family.
