About
The guided tour of the Foundation of Goodness is a great way to learn about the real experiences of rural Sri Lankans and all the work that goes into developing and uplifting a community to bridge the rural and urban gap, as well as the unique story of how the organization was able to rebuild both itself and the village in the devastating aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami which decimated the entire region.
The tour will take you through our empowerment sectors including the Women’s Enterprise Centre, IT Centre, Business Skills & Language Training Centre, Pre-school and the medical and dental clinics, all operated free of cost. Then we will proceed to our Dive for Good - Scuba Diving Centre and Sports Academy to learn more about the support we have received from cricketing celebrities and other big names in international sports towards building this model of empowerment which has now been replicated island-wide, reaching 28,000 beneficiaries from 400+ villages every year.

Plates of GoodnessPlates of goodness is a fantastic cooking experience with genuine hands on Sri Lankan home cooking (don't be shy ... grab the knife/spoon).

- kerrsamanthajane0 contributionsExcellentDid an online 2 hour cooking course with Plates of Goodness and loved it. I have cooked the recipes since doing the course and they are delicious and wholesome! Such a treat and a joy!Written February 26, 2023
- Nicole R0 contributionsFabulous Online Cooking Experience, Sri Lanka experience in your home!!Amazing experience!!! I recently celebrated my birthday with an ONLINE Cooking class hosted by Plates of Goodness. I invited friends and family from different parts of the world and they absolutely loved it. We laughed, and learned so much, and ended up with several plates of delicious food. The cooking team selected several yummy recipes (both vegan and meat-based), and patiently walked us through each of them, from pineapple curry, to an aubergine salad, chicken curry, coconut pancakes, and more ... it was a flavour explosion. The best part was connecting and having an experience with people I love all over the world, and sharing with them about Sri Lankan food and culture, a country and a people that I've come to love. I felt like this experience brought Sri Lanka to us, and us closer to one another. A massive thank you to Ludmilla and Rumeshi, supported by Ms. Thanuja Wijesinghe, you were excellent. Highly, highly recommended!Written February 22, 2023
- kalynae20220 contributionsFavourite experience in Sri LankaThis was one of our favourite experiences in Sri Lanka!! Two chefs took us through at least 5 recipes in a fun and relaxed environment. They were so kind, friendly and helpful and we learned a lot while also having lovely conversations with the chefs. My friend and I were given a pool-side candle lit table to enjoy all the food once we were done, and were encouraged to have as many servings as we wanted. We left with a recipe book each, full stomachs and very lifted spirits. We will never forget this experience and recommend everyone books a lesson, especially as it raises funds for Plates of Goodness’s important community projects!Written January 30, 2022

The course is organized at and by the Foundation of Goodness charity and the cost goes to support their activities for the local rural communities. We were greeted warmly, the menu was authentic and tasty, the chef explained different spices and methods to us during the class, and after lunch we had a tour around the foundation - very nice experience.Written February 10, 2020
