******Our round 1 of the fundraiser has raised £1840 (+£346 Gift aid). However we are still looking for further funds to make this program a success*****
Ipswich Srilankika Ekamuthuwa (Charity No: 1151973) will be hosting their first stage charity Cricket coaching program solely for the benefit of under-resourced schools in Sri Lanka during October 2024, and we would greatly appreciate your donations / sponsorship for this cause. Our organization believes that your donation will make a huge difference in lives of less fortunate school children who has a great passion for Cricket.
The 1st stage of the charity Cricket coaching program will run from 21st of October 2024 in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka, with the following being present
- Mr Tim Coggins (ECB Level 3 Coach UK )
- Mr Gayan Sirimanne (UK Charity Representative / Event Coordinator)
- Mr Udaya Priyashantha Pathiranage (Srilanka Charity Representative)
We believe that in urban areas and in many big schools, cricket is well resourced. But our initiative will eventually provide villages and under-resourced schools with some opportunity to support children with great passion for cricket and improve their chance to perform on the big stage.
1st stage of this program will support young cricketers from two chosen schools in the southern province of Sri Lanka, which cannot afford basic cricket facilities and coaching staff for the children below 15yrs of age.
Life can be difficult sometimes for school children in some parts of the world, but remembering we’re all in this together make those who are less resourced feel more connected to the rest of the world. By lending a helping hand to those in need, this charity program will be able to make those children feel part of Cricketing society.
No matter how big or small your contribution is, you are definitely helping to make a difference in less resourced children in Sri Lanka.
