Cricket Against Hunger

(http://www.ecb.co.uk/ecb/cricket-against-hunger/)

Cricket Against Hunger is the partnership between the England and Wales Cricket Board and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

It draws on their combined strength and the immense pulling power of the England cricket team to raise awareness about global hunger and the work that can be done to eradicate it.

Hunger currently affects one in seven people in the world and kills more people every year than AIDS, TB and malaria combined.

The Cricket Against Hunger partnership brings together England cricketers with the beneficiaries of WFP’s work. When the England team is on tour, WFP facilitates meetings between the cricketers and young children who depend on food aid to meet their nutritional requirements at school or in the communities where they live.

In this way, the stars of the England team are fast becoming advocates for the poor and the hungry.

In October 2006, while the England team was competing in the ICC Champions Trophy tournament in India, four England internationals took time out from their training schedule in Jaipur to visit a group of children who receive food aid from WFP as part of a school feeding programme which is run jointly with the Indian Government.

Daniel Banegas i Cuevas IES Marina (La Llagosta) POPULAR BRITISH SPORTS AND GAMES

Ashley Giles, Rikki Clarke, Ed Joyce and Jon Lewis spent almost two hours with the children, listening to the hardships they face as members of the Sahariya tribe , one of India’s poorest and most marginalised groups.

The players then played a quick game of cricket with the children before touring a factory in Jaipur that produces Indiamix, a highly nutritious food blend that is distributed to vulnerable groups in India.

The England A team have also been involved in raising the profile of Cricket Against Hunger, during their 2007 tour of Bangladesh. While the senior England team again helped promote the programme during their December 2007 tour in Sri Lanka.

Vocabulary Hunger: the feeling you have when you need to eat. Partnership: a company which is owned by two or more people. Raise awareness: to make people be conscious of a situation or subject at the present time based on information or experience. Eradicate: destroy something bad. Facilitate: to make possible or easier. Poor: having little money and/or few possessions. Schedule a list of planned activities or things to be done showing the times or dates when they are intended to happen or be done. Hardship: something which causes difficult or unpleasant conditions of life. Face : If you face a problem you have to deal with it. Tribe: a group of people, often of related families, who live together, sharing the same language, culture and history, especially those who do not live in towns or cities. Blend a mixture of different things or styles. Be involved to make someone take part in something or feel part of it.

Questions

1. List the countries that formed “Cricket Against Hunger” and which United Nations department it is working with? 2. Paragraph 4 describes how Cricket Against Hunger and WFP work together.

INTERVIEW BRIAN GERALD O'DRISCOLL (VALUES OF RUGBY)

Information The Spirit of the Game, unwritten ethical principles, camaraderie and good fellowship , has been the underlying ideology of the Game. Rugby has been described as "A game for gentlemen of all classes, but never for a bad sportsman of any class."

One of the major tasks confronting the modern Game is the preservation of these ethical values, which gave Rugby its identity and unique heritage . Many of today's professionals come from an environment in which the Game's traditions and ethical values are respected and admired, they consider that taking part on it is more important than winning.

If there is one thing that sets rugby apart from all the other sports you’ve seen or played, it is that after a match, you lay all differences aside and party. This is traditionally called the Third Half.

The third half is the embodiment of the traditions of rugby. There are the rugby songs and the drinking traditions. Post match socializing with opponents is one of the game’s better traditions, an effective way to affirm the aggressive contest has been friendly and sporting. But as new generations of high-performance and high school athletes are demonstrating, alcohol need not be the focal point.

There are literally thousands of rugby songs. Traditionally, you’d sing these songs in a bar after practices or during the Third Half. A team will usually adopt (or adapt) three or four songs they expect every player to know.

INTERVIEW BRIAN GERALD O'DRISCOLL (INJURIES)

Information The 2005 Lions skipper had his tour to New Zealand ended prematurely after damaging his shoulder in the first Test against the All Blacks and there were plenty of worried faces after O’Driscoll was seen nursing his shoulder during the second half. "These things happen in games - I've had a few of them," said O'Driscoll.

In 2007 he was taken to hospital with a suspected broken right cheekbone after an apparent punch by Mikaera Tewhata in the second half.

But X-rays have revealed the injury is not as bad as first feared .

He will miss Ireland's final warm-up match against Italy and their World Cup opener against Namibia on 9 September.

"Following an X-ray and scan of Brian O'Driscoll's injury, it has been confirmed that he has sustained a fracture to his sinus and a deep laceration under his right eye," said an Irish Rugby Union statement.

"This is not as serious as initially feared and the injury will not require any surgery .

"The recovery period for the injury is three to four weeks which will rule O'Driscoll out of the warm-up game against Italy next week and the first World Cup pool game against Namibia."
