On 29 May this year, it is 20 years since Esmin Gonsalkorala passed <\/span>away. Sri Lankan community in Queensland fondly remember Esmin <\/span>for her dedicated service to the Sri Lankan community. <\/span>
\nShe was the President of the Sinhala <\/span>Association of Queensland (SAQ) <\/span>from 1996 – 1997 and an active <\/span>member for many years. . She was <\/span>involved in writing the constitution <\/span>and was pivotal in forming the <\/span>Sinhala Association of Queensland. <\/span>She was also an enthusiastic presenter and programmer at Radio <\/span>4EB Sri Lankan Group. <\/span>
\nKumudini Vithanage had this dedication to Esmin in the <\/span>\u201cDakma\u201d (\u0daf\u0dd0\u0d9a\u0dca\u0db8) publication on the <\/span>Silver Jubilee celebrations of SAQ.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u201cEsmin Gonsalkorala served her community well. Twenty five years <\/span>ago when the Sinhala community was a fledgling minority community, <\/span>Esmin chose to serve her people through existing institutions, the <\/span>Sinhala Association of Queensland and Radio 4EB Sri Lankan Group. <\/span>
\nA committed community member, Esmin remained a key figure of <\/span>both SAQ and 4EB, on many occasions holding office, in spite of an <\/span>unforgiving health condition to which she finally succumbed. The <\/span>courage she exhibited in the face of adversity, determined to fulfil her <\/span>role as mother to her three young children was inspiring.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
