Botswana 2009
CWB's first official team to Botswana consisted of Will McLaren-Clark (Project
Leader), Mark Aylward, Tony Morbin, Mike Griggs (ECB Tutor), Allan Parker-Reed,
Veronique Cowan-Goussant, Veronika Reeves and Michael Reeves. Based in Gaborone,
the team ventured north to Mochudi in week one, then coached in and around
'Gabs' and in Ramotswa during week two. Over the fortnight, just over 1300
children from 18 government schools were coached during our afternoon sessions
and we also managed to train 57 teachers through their preliminary ICC coaching
qualification,. The team also found time to visit the SOS Village in Tlokweng
which gives hope to many children who have been affected by the HIV/Aids
pandemic. Special mention must go to Botswana Cricket Authority who offered
us incredible support and we look forward to returning to Botswana in 2010
to build on the foundations that have been laid down this year.
