Engage in a unique opportunity to delve into Sri Lanka’s rich culture and make a difference in the community. Sponsor underprivileged youth to join you for a day of fun and merriment as you try your hand at the declining art form of mask making and puppetry in the south. Meet up with expert craftsmen in the town of Ambalangoda in Galle, and learn how to make traditional masks, which are central to the Ruhuna culture.
Pit your skill against the children as you compete to create the best one. Enjoy a masked performance by the youth, and participate in a ventriloquism and puppet show. This activity lasts four to five hours and is best undertaken at the start of the day or late in the evening.
