Diya Rakusa, lit. "water demon" (translation from Sinhala). A nickname earned - the hard way - in water polo. Back in Sri Lanka with an MBA and undiminished idealism. Should be an interesting ride.

Sri Lanka on the BBC World Challenge short list again
A few years ago it was the elephant paper project, now it's the safe kerosene lamp project. Makes for an interesting comparison with D.Light. On one hand you could say D.Light leapfrogs the issues such as continued reliance on kerosene, fumes, remaining probability of fires; on the other the bottles would be cheaper to produce/sell/sponsor/distribute and require almost no behavior change.
