Cricket
Without Boundaries [CWB] is a UK based charity
dedicated to helping, educating and developing local
communities around the World through the spread and
growth of cricket. It is also about personal
empowerment, both for adults and for children. The
Charity uses the sport to help develop personal
skills ranging from basic teamwork to
self-discipline and leadership.
Through
visits to schools and orphanages, organising
tournaments, providing of equipment and coaching
clinics for adults CWB is committed to taking the
game of cricket to a new generation of coaches and
children.
Through
cricket's unifying qualities and the enthusiasm of
others, CWB aims to bring diverse and often
polarised communities together. In a world of
ever-increasing religious and racial tension,
cricket can be a great catalyst in uniting future
generations.
However,
CWB is not just about sustainable cricket
development. Crucially it is also about using the
game of cricket as a tool in the fight against the
modern plague that is AIDS. CWB’s training sessions
have at their heart discussion about the disease
both in terms of prevention and treatment. The
charity also stands for equality of treatment for
those with the disease; children and adults
regardless of their status are included in coaching,
games and competitions.
In many
cases this will simply involve laying the bare
framework for later development: but this still
remains the best of starts. After all, we are what
we do.
