SOS Patrimoine en Péril “Save Our Heritage”’, a benevolent non-governmental organisation, engaged in the cause of preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of Mauritius requests your support for a project at the Royal College Curepipe (RCC). 

While RCC is designated as a National Heritage as per law, one lesser known fact is that the inaugural match for professional football in Mauritius was played at RCC some 100 years ago and it was one Mr. Charles Lamb, then Physical Education instructor at RCC, who promoted football and athletics in Mauritius.   

The above-mentioned project has thus been conceived to observe this centennial event and give due recognition to Mr. Charles Lamb.  For this purpose, please read the hereby annexed project brief which describe the following projects / activities:
(a) Naming the football ground after Charles Lamb by the setting up an entrance signage and a memorial plaque (includes purchase of vintage photos of the playground); Rs100,000 - 125,000
(b) A seven-a-side Football tournament by the name of the “Charles Lamb Cup”; Rs 75,000
(c) Issue of a Special Commemorative Cover to mark this event; Rs40,000
(d) Photo exhibition related to the history of football; Rs 10,000
 

Kindly note that the official approval of the school administration of RCC has been obtained for this project.  The funs will be deposited in the bank account of ‘SOS Patrimoine en Péril “Save Our Heritage”’ and the expenses will be regularly communicated to the administration of RCC.
