Grenada may not be hosting any West Indies matches this home series - but Digicel made sure they could experience West Indies Bigger Better Cricket! On Monday, April 18th, West Indies Cricket stars Courtney Browne, Darren Sammy and Devon Smith along with Team Manager Tony Howard spent the day with the Grenadian people. "The people here were thrilled to have the players come over. The children in particular enjoyed the day and even got some great coaching tips from the Team Manager Tony Howard. Digicel is so pleased to have been able to do something during the Cricket Series for Grenada." Stated Digicel's Sponsorship, Events and New Media Manager, Marita Laurent, who was with the group for the day. The group visited the Tanteen Cricket Ground offering hands-on cricket tips and pointers to 120 young Grenadian cricketers from four primary schools and their coaches. The Windies players also took a tour of St. Georges and its surroundings to view the recovery process in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan that ravaged the country late last year and meet the people of Grenada who have worked together to restore much of the Island's infrastructure which was severely damaged. The tour included the National Stadium and the International Cricket Ground. The cricket stars also made an appearance at Digicel's retail outlet on the Carenage to sign autographs and enjoyed talking to all of the people who came out to enjoy some time with them. Digicel's response to Hurricane Ivan recovery efforts in Grenada last year approached over EC $3.5 million, including the granting of EC$50 in free call credit to each of its customers to help them reach out during this difficult time. Digicel employees distributed food, water, and clothes to the community after the storm, while engineers and equipment were dispatched to sustain power and service to customers.
