A new media centre funded by a British Tamil student group was opened at a Mullaitivu school on January 29.
The media centre at Kumulamunai Maha Vidyalayam was a project conceived and funded by the UK Tamil Students Union (UKTSU).
The centre will serve the school's 525 students aged 11-18 and is equipped with computers, wireless internet, printers, interactive whiteboard and other IT equipment.
UKTSU came up with the project after meeting with Kumulamunai students in 2014 and hearing about their dreams and aspirations.
The media centre will "assist the students with their education and enrich their IT skills," UKTSU said.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
