One Country and One People’ in Sinhala and Tamil
View(s):‘Celebrating multi-culturalism and diversity on World Children’s Day’, the Sunshine Charity will launch the Sinhala and Tamil versions of the book, ‘One Country and One People’ written by Sharadha de Saram on Saturday, October 1, at 3 p.m. at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute.
The Sunshine Charity together with Sri Lanka’s largest grassroots movement, the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement launched the initiative, ‘Investing in Children’ based on the story, ‘One Country and One People’. The story, originally written in English conveys creatively and positively the island’s colourful cultural fabric that weaves our nation’s people – from the colonial period of the Portuguese, Dutch and British to Independence of the country and what followed. The story goes on to explain the different ethnic groups that live on the island and the different faiths practised.
