Sadly I could not update this blog for more than a year now. Reason? I was extremely busy writing the book - 'Sustainability First'.
The book captured the 2 years long research work on telecentre sustainability, and will be published soon by telecentre.org of IDRC.
I am sure that would provide a broader and optimistic picture, how hundreds of telecentres in Brazil, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, function as economically sustainable units.
Further more, the lengthy engagement of book writing, convinced me, that I must sharpen some of my entrepreneurial skills; so I am now a keen Executive MBA student at Christ Church University of Canterbury, UK.
I am learning amazing things, now. Certainaly exciting. Sarvodaya-Fusion telecentres are my test bed. (see www.fusion.lk) Blending both, MBA studies and Sustainability First research learning, I am intending to update this blog from now on.
Goal: to provide helpful guidance and tools to the Telecentre operators, to make their operations economically sustainable.
So, get the best out of it. This is nothing but charitable spirit...that I learn from Sarvodaya (www.sarvodaya.org).
