CWB trained coach spreading the word in Kisumu, Kenya
CWB first met and trained Derick Inyanje in October 2011 in Kisumu, Kenya.
Working closely with Derick closely the team trained and mentored him in cricket coaching and in teaching HIV/AIDS messages. With a bag of CWB donated cricket equipment and his undoubted enthusiasm Derick has taken to his coaching role with gusto.
Over the last 4 months, acting on behalf of Cricket Kenya he has been volunteering his time to coach cricket in the local schools in Kisumu and importantly teaching HIV/AIDS awareness messages to hundreds of children. Most recently Derick organised a School Festival for schools to take part in. As Tracey Davies, CWB Kenya Country Manager says:
"Derick and his efforts demonstrate the importance of sustainability that CWB strive for. It is great to see that when we are not there, people like Derick continue to take the game to hundreds of children and use it to reinforce key AIDS awareness messages."
