Story

So here we go again. This time bigger and better.

2015: Update, just 2 weeks this time in rwanda

2014: This autumn I will be on, not 1, not 2!, but 3....yes THREE Cricket Without Boundaries projects in Africa. I will be starting off with a return to where it began last year in Rwanda for 2 weeks before moving across land through Uganda (possibly meeting up the the Uganda team for a couple of days) before reaching Kenya for some more organised chaos for a couple of weeks. Once that has finished it will be a short hop across the centre of Africa to Cameroon where the extent of my french...MERDE!


For those of you that I didn't bombard with tales of my Rwandan adventure when I came back last year, here is a brief explanation of why i'm doing this.

Quite simply, HIV/Aids is destroying lives. I'm not going out there with a cure for the disease but a cure for the lack of knowledge and understanding people have about the disease. Knowledge and understanding is the best way of stopping people for contracting and spreading this family destroying disease. CWB get this knowledge through to kids and young adults through a language I love, the language of cricket.

So, 2 ½ months, 4 countries and a target of 15,000 kids to coach. Thats the plan and we all know what happens to best laid plans, especially in africa. 

All I ask is people give whatever they can afford. Everyone can afford something, and as a large supermarket entity says “Every Little Helps”

 

Please give
