I will be travelling to Uganda in October with Cricket Without Boundaries to coach cricket to adults and children whilst also teaching them about HIV/AIDS awareness.

Cricket Without Boundaries 3 main aims are:

1.       Spread Cricket through coaching Children and teaching adults how to coach;

2.       To link the sport to HIV/AIDS awareness and to incorporate these messages into coaching sessions

3.       To bring together and empower local communities

 

Uganda has a population of about 32 million. Kampala, the capital is home of around 1.6 million. It is a relative success story with regards to HIV, seeing a reduction in cases of around 25% in the last 30 years. However, reports are showing that is is beginning to rise again.

I have been given the welfare role, this will involve me ensuring that everyone has taken their malaria tablets on a daily basis, are applying sun cream, have plentiful supply of water, I will also be in charge of the first aid kit

Hopefully you will be able to help get me there and donate some money (even if it's just £1!).
