Dr. Ing. E. Leuthold from Switzerland contacted Horizon Lanka Foundation through email last April and informed us that he is willing to provide a brand new laptop for one of our students. Horizon staff selected Tharanga Sampath, a brilliant student at Horizon Lanka Academy. We thank Dr. Ing. E. Leuthold a lot for this generous donation. Dr. Ing. E. Leuthold promised to send two more laptops for the next two best students at Horizon Lanka Academy.
Ranuka Udayanga was the second student to get a brand new laptop from Dr. Ing. E. Leuthold. Read the testimonial Mr Ranjith Pushpakumara, the Head Master of Horizon Lanka Academy wrote about Ranuka.
“Ranuka Udayanga has been known to me for three years by now and I can beyond doubt recommend that he is the most creative boy student I have found of the HLA. When ever I wanted something done I just wanted to give him the rough idea to get from him the exact output I always predicted. The flash presentations he created for the farewells of the GVI volunteers were clear testimonials for his talents. I sincerely believe that whatever resources spent on him will undoubtedly prove that a genius for the future is created. A teacher who happens to teach him and parents who happen to nurture a child like him will be extremely lucky.”

See Ranuka's excitement below after getting the laptop..... “I was a Digital Butterfly before 13th of October and on the 13th October I became a Digital Ambassador. Do you know who a Digital Butterfly is? At Horizon Lanka we call DB to the students who get a desktop computer trough DB project. After getting laptop they become DA’s.
It was a very happy day for me. I was hoping for a laptop for so many years. Fortunately my hope became true. One of my favorite hobbies is blogging. I write stories about my studies, news, add articles about new discoveries, etc. to my blog. Many people are visiting it. I think my blog is interesting in the internet. Dr. Leuthold is a kind person who gives a helping hand to the people who need help. He donated a laptop to a clever student at HLF earlier. His help for me was a brand new Acer laptop computer. It was the happiest day of my life. It has 80 GB hard disk and 1 GB RAM. It is very useful for me to do my work. Now I’m developing a website for Laksaviya Foundation with the help of this laptop. I like to thank Dr. Leuthold for his kind help. I hope to do the maximum work with laptop.
Lak Saviya Foundation was involved in coordinating with the donor in Switzerland - Dr. Ing. E. Leuthold - and Horizon Lanka for the purchase and delivery of the laptop computers. Lak Saviya managed to liaise with the donor and the recipient (through Horizon Lanka) for selecting appropriate Acer laptops from Colombo that fits within the budget of the donor and suitable for the end users – two Digital Ambassadors in Mahavilachchiya village. We thank Lak Saviya for their generous assistance to us in this regard.
