Horizon Lanka Foundation partners with Ahamu Online Radio to webcast the launching of mesh internet network in Mahavilachchiya. Log on to www.ahamu.com. The program started broadcasting earlier than expected as the test runs went perfectly well. First webcast was done around 7.30 pm Sri Lanka time today. Program is being handled by two of the Horizon Lanka students, Ruvini Senevirathna of Grade 12 and Ruwan Laksiri of Grade 11. Denuwan Wijewardena of Ahamu Radio has been helping Horizon Lanka Foundation during last few years with his expertise in using multimedia and web applications. 

Live radio webcast is being done using Skype. Two announcers, Ruvini and Ruwan are at Horizon Lanka Foundation right now and the students and parents are communicating with the announcers through Skype from their homes. Thanks to mesh technology, all these wonders were possible.

We also hope to interview the visitors from Colombo tomorrow on Ahamu Online Radio.
