It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. ” Nelson Mandela Who we are Cricket Without Boundaries (“CWB”) is a UK cricket development and AIDS awareness charity. It is run almost entirely by the dedication and enthusiasm of its volunteers. Since its formation in 2005 CWB has become one of the world’s leading Cricket Development and AIDS awareness charities. It is dedicated to helping, educating and developing local communities around the world through the spread and growth of cricket. It is about personal empowerment, both for adults and for children. Ed Williams Working primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa it has sent CWB Trustee projects to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Cameroon and Namibia. In the process "Being involved in CWB is a CWB has coached tens of thousands of children in fantastic opportunity to bring a some of the poorest communities in the world as well game that has brought me so as training several thousand adults to become ICC much fun over the years to those qualified cricket coaches. CWB is committed to taking whose concept of fun has been the game of cricket to a new generation of coaches severely restricted by poverty, and children in Africa, as well as supporting existing disease and political instability. cricket development. Cricket and Sport generally can play a really important role re- The charity has two main goals: enforcing vital AIDS awareness messages." (i) To spread cricket through coaching children and teaching adults how to coach; and (ii) Linking the sport to HIV/AIDS awareness and incorporating these messages into every day coaching sessions. 4 Working in partnership with the National Cricket Associations in each country, the relevant British High Commissions and the ICC, CWB follows a simple, 3 stage sports development structure to try to ensure some form of sustained development of the game: 1) Coach education 2) Schools coaching and 3) Tournament. However, CWB is not just about sustainable cricket development. Of equal importance to the charity is the use of cricket as a tool in the fight against the modern plague that is HIV/AIDS. In an area of the world where almost 25 million people are living with HIV/AIDS and around 2.7 million adults and children are infected each year, we cannot ignore the opportunity to combine sport with clear health messages for both coaches and youngsters. Chris Kangis CWB Trustee CWB’s training sessions involve discussion and practical demonstrations of simple cricket and non- "CWB has helped bring real and cricket related drills that deal with HIV/AIDS, both in lasting benefit to the areas that terms of prevention and treatment.

In 2013, there were also 1.1 million recorded Adult & Child Deaths in this region as a result of HIV/AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic, a staggering 14.8 million children have lost at least one of their parents as a result of HIV/AIDS. A large number of those infected are children: many of whom are in cricket playing nations in Africa. It is not just medicine that is needed, but education and a focus on changing behavioural patterns. Andy Hobbs CWB Trustee The link between Sport (particularly cricket) and HIV/AIDS is not obvious to everyone. However, we “Cricket is a game of unique have found that sports coaches are in a unique qualities. Cricket Without position to impart a message of staying healthy.

We achieve this by: Empowering coaches to confidently inform participating children of the dangers of HIV/AIDS through innovative associations with the language and form of cricket Stressing the ABC approach – abstinence, be faithful to your partner and condom use: effective HIV/AIDS prevention is based on all three being utilised not just one Making the case for regular VCT testing Discussion of the limits of anti-retroviral drugs and the debilitating effect of AIDS on society and the development of the country Working for the equality of treatment for those who have HIV/AIDS 8 Cricket is more than just a game. It is “a means of bringing together diverse communities, often in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the world. We must continue to use the game to promote key health messages, such as awareness about HIV/AIDS through our THINKWISE programme. That’s why we support Cricket Without Boundaries and the work they do in promoting HIV/AIDS messages in Africa in partnership with our Members. It is great to have them on board as a delivery partner for our THINKWISE programme and we wish them every success. ”Alan Isaac, Former ICC President Where we work CWB have visited nine different African countries but currently concentrate on Cameroon, Botswana, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, sending two projects a year to each. Cameroon Uganda Kenya Rwanda Botswana Over 40 projects in 9 African countries in the last 6 years Over 180,000 children coached in Africa in the last 10 years. Over 3,000 adults trained as ICC coaches 10 Cameroon Cameroon is located on the west coast of Africa, running from north to south from the Sahara Desert to the Atlantic Ocean. Cameroon borders the Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Cameroon is often described as ‘Africa in Miniature’ as it encompasses such a diverse mixture of African culture, people and landscapes. Cameroon has a population estimated at around 20 million and an annual growth rate of about 2.8%. Cameroon is undergoing a demographic transition and about 50% of the population now lives in urban areas. The capital Yaoundé is home to approx 2.5 Capital million and is the second largest city behind Douala, Yaoundé the port city on the west coast. There are 24 major African language groups in Cameroon with English Language(s) and French being the official languages. Cameroon French, English does well compared with its neighbours as far as education goes. It is compulsory between the ages of Population 6-14 with attendance at more than 70%. Literacy rates are around 63%. 20,129,878 Masaka, Uganda 2011 11 Cricket is run by the Cameroon Cricket Federation and is based in the capital, Yaoundé. Cameroon Cricket Federation is a fairly young governing body, having been set up by Victor Agbor-Nso in 2005. Cameroon became an affiliate member of the ICC in 2007. The Federation has a growing ‘Cricket At School’ programme along with a development programme which includes organising Inter-school Cricket Tournaments, Coaching Courses, Cricket Festivals, Street Children Cricket Outreach Programmes, Cricket development Courses and Domestic Cricket Competitions. Why are CWB in Cameroon? HIV and AIDS has had a devastating impact in Cameroon, based on a Demographic Health Survey carried out in 2004, the national HIV prevalence is estimated at 5.5% with women and youths being predominantly infected. (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 2008) In Cameroon the saying “if you are not infected by HIV/AIDS, you are affected by it” shows the commitment towards educating communities through awareness messages.

    Firstly, I am very thankful to my parents who helped me as they bought some useful stationary items for my project work. I am also thankful to my PHYSICAL EDUCATION subject teacher MR.VIJAY SIR who provided such a nice topic to make a project on it. I had taken reference from “ENCARTA EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE and also from INTERNET”. INTRODUCTION:- Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held.

  • EACF Case for Support Overview2
    “CHARACTER THROUGH CRICKET” Programme EACF’s mission is to transform the lives of disadvantaged young East Africans through cricket and education. Focussing on 12 primary schools in slum areas of Nairobi, Kenya and 4 state secondary schools, our dual-purpose Cricket and Character Education programme aims to develop young, disadvantaged people through an educational programme delivered by the coaching and playing of cricket and to effect systemic educational and social change. We aim to achieve our objectives by consciously and intentionally nurturing through our programme those values, skills and attitudes that matter most so that young people can reach their potential at school, at home, in their communities and in the workplace. We aim to achieve long-term educational and social change by helping schools to develop a broader educational ethos, by creating new pathways into secondary and tertiary education (currently denied very many young Kenyans) and by creating new urban community cricket clubs to operate outside of schools with much wider social and educational purposes beyond cricket. 1: The importance of character If young people are to lead successful lives, their educational experience must give them much more than academic qualifications. Research in USA by Dr. Martin Seligman and Dr. Angela Duckworth at Pennsylvania University identifies seven key character traits that, they argue, serve as the very best predictors of personal and professional success. These are: ENTHUSIASM - PERSEVERANCE - SELF-CONTROL - OPTIMISM - GRATITUDE - SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE - CURIOSITY. These are the values, skills and attitudes – all of which combine to form our characters - that matter most if young people are to become well-integrated, good citizens and effective performers in the workplace.
