HOPE Cricket Tournament and Kite Festival

One of our Board members came up with an idea of having a kite festival for some students who are less fortunate. After having a discussion with the members, we decided to have a Kite festival and cricket tournament for the students at Ratmalana Hindu College who are internally displaced students

We planned to have it on the 17th July , 2010. First we started with the kite festival. Our members divided the students into groups and each group was given a kite. Then they happily started flying kites. They were having competition among themselves to see whose kite is flying high.

After some time we stared the cricket tournament. It was organized as six a side matches. We had three matches in which one team was from students and one was formed with our Leos. There were many talented players among those students. Both the students and our Leos enjoyed playing cricket a lot.

Then we served refreshment for the students. After that prizes were given for the winning team. Exercise books were given for all the students. Winning team received a pack of ball and the best batsman received a cricket bat.
