Red Dot is close friends with the Foundation of Goodness
community near Galle. The charity was set up Kushil Gunasekera
in the aftermath of the tsunami, and is championed by Muttiah
Muralitharan and supported by cricketers the world over. The
village has a cricket pitch at its centre and we encourage
touring teams to have a match here. It is a unique way in
which your club, university or school can give something back
to the island and its people.
We are not interested in taking coach loads of people to stand
and stare at the lives of others from a comfortable distance.
Red Dot encourages an interactive and constructive relationship
with the community in which cricket breaks all boundaries.
An sporting academy is being built and cricket is now being
played on their new pitch. Due to the expense of pads and
leather balls, it is cricket ‘soft-ball’ that
has evolved as the game of choice throughout this area. Many
of the current national team learnt this form of the game
and it accounts for many of their unique techniques. It is
an extremely entertaining form of the game and taken very
seriously. Official umpires will adjudicate and crowds will
gather, as you are given a thorough lesson in cricket ‘Sri
Lankan Style.’
Away from the coast, Red Dot has also supported a Kandyan
orphanage. A game of tennis ball cricket here is most rewarding
and brings utter joy for the orphans involved. If there is
another specific charity project your team wish to visit,
Red Dot would be delighted to arrange this in your itinerary.
