Clouds floating in an azure sky, young rays of the sun drawing cartoons on fallen leaves, a yellow butterfly whispering sweet secrets to a red rose, the wind playing with the palm trees...these are the images that are bound to flit through your mind as you listen to the music and songs inviting you to a sublime world of peace and tranquility, come next Sunday afternoon, at the Centenary Hall, Sacred Heart Convent, Galle.

As you listen, as you tap your fingers to the rhythm of the hauntingly enchanting music, the past becomes the present... till you will surely hear, ever so gently the voice of Rev. Sr. Rosina Nanayakkara speaking those memorable, heartrending words, “Just for today, I will do somebody a good deed and not get found out...if it gets found out it will not count.”

Though it is two years now since the beloved Principal of the Secret Heart Convent, Galle, passed away, her love, her kind and caring ways live on among the past pupils of the school whose lives were enriched in more ways than one by this exceptionally benevolent teacher. The concert, Hearts in Harmony, which will go on the boards of the school on Sunday 3rd February, 2013 at 5pm, is the effort of a group of dedicated past pupils with the aim of raising funds for the charity established in Sr. Rosina’s name the Rosina Nanayakkara Charitable Trust Fund.

The events lined up for the evening include Sinhala songs like Walakulen Besa, a Kapirinna dance as well as English songs and a memorial song written for Sr. Rosina Nanayakkara, by Dr. Wasana Mendis, past pupil and head girl in 1990.

The guest of honour will be Most Rev. Dr. Raymond Wickramasinghe, while the chief guest will be Nishara Mendis LL.M. (Yale), Attorney-at-Law, Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Colombo; who was the Head Girl in the centenary year – 1996. All proceedings of the event will go to the Rosina Nanayakkara Charitable Trust Fund, established in 2011 with the aim of continuing the yeoman services Sr. Rosina carried out in her lifetime dedicating her mental, spiritual and physical resources to help the needy students and the voiceless masses regardless of race or religion. Sr. Rosina Nanayakkara’s love and care for others, knew no barriers. Hers was a universal love that embraced all mankind.

Let this supreme love enter your hearts too on the evening of the 3rd, February. Let your presence help keep burning, the flames lit by Sr. Rosina Nanayakkara to make the world a better place for those who are in need.

Join your heart too with our hearts, in love and harmony.
