  • With Allan Lamb Travel 12Th-28Th November 2018
    Packages for 2nd & 3rd Test with Allan Lamb Travel 12th-28th November 2018 Hosted by Allan Lamb & Graham Gooch 10812 ALLAN TRAVEL Join Allan and I on this in-depth tour which will provide you with a comprehensive understanding and enjoyment of this wonderful country as well as attending some riveting cricket. It is a great honour to represent your country. Whether it is at home or abroad, I was fortunate to tour most of the best cricketing nations around the world. Sri Lanka has always been one of the toughest places to succeed on the Test match calendar. Scoring runs or taking wickets in hot and humid conditions, takes immense powers of concentration and skill. The Sri Lankan’s have always been extremely difficult to beat on their own patch. I have the fond memories of performing in Colombo, because in 1982 I was lucky enough to play in Sri Lanka’s inaugural Test match. England managed to gain a victory in Colombo and I remember the tremendous reception we received and the outstanding hospitality of the local people. It will be fantastic to return to this exciting island and I look forward to linking up with my old England colleague and friend Allan Lamb once again. Regards Graham Gooch Day 01 - Monday 12th November Depart London Heathrow – Colombo Day 02 - Tuesday 13th November Arrive Bandaranayke Colombo A Representative from Allan Lamb Travel will welcome you at the Airport and accompany you by luxury coach transfer to Cinnamon Citade Hotel, or Mahaweli Reach Hotel, Kandy Day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Test Match: Wednesday 14th November – Sunday 18th November Breakfast at the Hotel Transferred by luxury coach each day to Pallekele International Cricket Stadium (approx.

  • Sri Lankan Rendezvous
    Sri Lankan Rendezvous Escape away from all the urban distractions and chaos to the calm respite of Kandy’s hills, then on to the Nuwara Eliya tea estates and finally summertime on the beach. Despite the program being designed with abundance of leisure time, it does not compensate on your experience of Ceylon nor on the quality of your accommodation. Day 1 Airport - Kandy: About 5 Hours Drive Kandy House Having arrived in Sri Lanka you will be greeted by both our Jetwing representative and your chauffeur guide at the airport itself. Take a leisurely drive to the Kingdom of Kandy. Relish the scenic journey as you pass the paddy fields of the low country towards the city of Kandy. Along the way you will be passing sites of interest such as the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage - depending on your flight timing you are welcome to drop by and visit these places. Once in Kandy find yourself surrounded by rolling green forests and listen for the trickle of rivers. At the comforts of the cozy private home of Kandy House, relax and recover from any jet lag. You will find that each of the rooms and suites are individually designed and this is why each is anointed a different name. Some even feature a private garden where you and your partner can enjoy tea or breakfast together. Jetwing Travels | [email protected] | page 1 www.jetwingtravels.com Day 2 Kandy: About 1.5 Hours Drive Kandy House Spend a lazy day at The Kandy House which was built by the final chief minister of the Kandyan Kingdom, Ratwatte Adigar, in 1804.

  • Understanding Press Coverage on Religious Freedom
    UNDERSTANDING PRESS COVERAGE ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM 1 UNDERSTANDING PRESS COVERAGE ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM INTRODUCTION Ethno-religious violence has been a growing problem in post-war Sri Lanka. Events in Mawanella (2001),1 Gintota (2017),2 Aluthgama (2014)3 and most recently in Digana (2018)4 demonstrate the extent and frequency of this type of violence. This report is the fourth in a series of reports prepared by Verité Research (VR) for Minor Matters. These reports examine how the print media reports on religious freedom in Sri Lanka. They aim to analyse the frequency and tonality of coverage in various newspapers in English, Sinhala and Tamil to provide both quantitative and qualitative insights. The press coverage is assessed by observing press articles in terms of their sentiment on religious freedom, i.e. supporting, neutral or opposing. This sentiment analysis is based on an assessment of two components: a) news grading, in which the substance of the news article/content is analysed, and b) view grading, in which the tonality of the coverage, pictures, and any other additional cues used to position sentiment regarding the news item, are analysed. The present report also qualitatively analyses articles related to religious freedom within the context of broader themes such as physical violence towards people and property; inflammatory speech; court cases, laws and regulations pertaining to religious freedom; religious inequality and discrimination; and other related reporting relevant to religious freedom. Newspaper summaries that have a bearing on religious freedom are listed in chronological order at the end of the report. 1 G.H. Peiris, A reappraisal of evidence and claims.
