Apparently today is known as “Children’s Day” throughout the world. However I’ve never heard of it in my life. It’s a day set aside for kids to enjoy themselves so this meant we had a different day.

History

The International Children’s Day had its origin in Turkey in 1920 (April 23, 1920) and later in the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children’s Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

We are launching the special project called “evillage” ’s web site on 28th of November 2009.

The project aimed on Information Communication Technology for Development. The project conducted by the Education for Knowledge Society Project of the ministry of education, Sri Lanka.
