Popular composer and singer Rukshan Perera is leading a project at the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan, named, “Little Minds Strong Values,” to re-introduce morals, values and ethics in children through video-animated songs and also to build the foundation for a society of good mannered, civic minded, decent people in Sri Lanka.
After conceptualizing this project an year ago, Rukshan composed and directed 29 Sinhala and Tamil songs with the support of well-wishers. Cleverly crafted video animations with children’s voices, is bound to attract children, while the values embedded in the lyrics would be inculcated in children every time they hear or sing the songs – a brilliant concept!!
The Rotary team is currently preparing for the launch of this project in February 2019 and thereafter, to distribute 5,000 DVDs and Pen Drives free of charge to schools throughout the country. This would be phase I of the project. In addition, the songs would be published on YouTube not only for locals, but also for Sri Lankan children living overseas.
An important aspect of the project is to create awareness and have these songs played regularly on TV and Radio, thereby, stimulating young minds to adapt ethics and values as a way of life.
