Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!!
Next Spring i am spending two weeks in Africa to work as volunteer cricket coach with Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB).
CWB aims to educate and help underprivileged communities in Africa, using cricket to develop personal skills ranging from basic teamwork to self-discipline and leadership.
Most importantly, it uses the game of cricket as a tool in the fight against HIV/AIDS by focusing on changing behavioural patterns and bringing children together in a safe and fun environment where critical messages about HIV/AIDS can be delivered. As coaches, our training sessions will have at their heart a discussion about the disease both in terms of prevention and treatment. CWB also stands for equality of treatment for those with the disease: regardless of their status, children and adults are included in coaching, games and competitions.The money that you so kindly donate will buy cricket kit and t-shirts for the future coaches and players in Africa. At the end of our stay we will organise a cricket festival for the local children and coaches.
We are paying our own way to and from Africa, our food, insurance and visas, so this is not a jolly on your expense!
