eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter – By Joe Paiva
Dear Readers of Elanka, Australia & all over the world.
I wonder if you noted eLanka’s new logo in the recent newsletter.
Excellent design.
I applaud eLanka’s project team for creating the poignant image.
Oil Lamp in the Centre
flanked by the two respective national flags.
Symbolic of a Bridge, assimilation, fellowship, two cultures , one a rich very ancient traditional South Asian culture and the other relatively new. Lighting the the World, a gentle caring touch of the minds and hearts of all Sri Lankans & Australians.
One of serving humanity without premeditated expectations.
Instantly Capt Elmo ( Blue Skies) Jayewardene,’s ethos came to mind. Quote
” Far better to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness”
Elmo’s Candle is somewhat similar to eLanka’s Oil Lamp, except the word ‘Poor’.
PS
CandleAid: A shining light for those in need, the poor.
