Thus last year, she established her own charitable organisation “Serendip Strings” in Galle. ‘Serendip Strings’ teaches Classical Western and Eastern music – Ursula herself handling the former and Lasantha Abeygunawardene the latter. Children from all ethnicities congregate in the educational space provided by Serendip Strings, learning to play music together and in the process bridging differences.
