HEAT :Help educate and Teach in DLF IPL South Africa

With the various initiatives in DLF IPL Season 2 ,I really like this initiative where by in every match a 100,000 Rands are given to needy schools in and around the stadium/province in which the IPL Matches are being played.
Apart from this 5 young kids from those who have come to watch the IPL Matches are given 15,000 Rands as scholarship amount every match as money for their future education.
Lalit Modi calls it step to give back something to the country that has been so supportive to IPL in terms of their uncertainties and the quickfire scheduling of the entire event with in a time frame of 4 weeks.
Hats off to Lalit Modi and the team at IMG Sports group who came up with approximately 100 new schedules for the IPL in lieu of the Indian Home Ministry requesting the IPL to readjust the dates of the matches with the Lok Sabha elections taking place in India.

It feels good to see that young children are being encouraged to visit stadiums.Its really a great sight to see young South African youth visit the IPL and actually follow an Indian team.They seem to be coming in hordes and augurs well for the game of cricket.Most of these kids seem to be avid fans of Herschelle Gibbs,Graeme Smith,Jacques Kallis ,Shaun Pollock and even JP Duminy.

South Africans well known for Rugby seem to be taking a keen liking for cricket with their team beating the Aussies in a test series at Australia (though lost to them recently at home) and beating them in two consecutive one day series catapulting SA as the no 1 ODI team in the world.
