Film on Safe Lamp Project

World Challenge is a prestigious global contest conducted by BBC, Newsweek and Shell. Last year, Sri Lanka's Safe Bottle Lamp Project was the outright winner. It is the brain child of Dr Wijaya Godakumbura and he collected the award in Netherlands last December.

BBC produced a film entitled 'One year on' to show the project's activities following that win. It contains statements from Secretary to the Health Ministry Dr Ravindra Ruberu, UNICEF Child Protection Specialist Dr Hemamal Jayawardena and Dr Godakumbura.

They would be completing the free distribution of their safe lamps, produced with the prize money of US$ 20,000, to the people lacking electricity by the end of this year.

They would welcome donations from various organizations to continue their humanitarian work, which is now in the 19 year. For more information you can check their website www.safebottlelamp.org

The telecast times of the film on their project on BBC World TV are Saturday, November 13 at 8 am and 2 pm and Sunday, November 14 at 8 pm.


Winner takes it all

Winning the first, second and third places at the same competition for three years continuously is not an easy task.

In addition winning another series of first, second and third places plus some merit certificates for the clever use of different raw materials at the same competition very clearly shows the relevant artist's born talent.

This dedicated, painstaking and budding 28-year-old artist is Anusha Dilanthi Athauda of Wegantale, Mawanella.

Dilanthi has established this unique record by participating in Traditional Art, Batik Painting, Fibre Weaving as well as fabric painting events at the Silpa' 2008, 2009 and 2010 Sabaragamuwa Handicrafts Exhibition jointly organized annually by the National Crafts Council, Sabaragamuwa PC Industries Ministry and Industrial Development Department.

She has followed an Antiquity Replica Creation two year course at Pasyala Centre and Lalithakala (Special) Five Year Course at 'Lalithakalayathanaya'.
