What is your mission to Cameroon?

We are from Cricket without Boundaries and we are a UK-based charity organization. We are in Cameroon to develop cricket and to use cricket as a vehicle to raise awareness on HIV and AIDS messages. It is our 2nd visit here. During the first visit we found the teachers and students really enthusiastic about cricket. They absolutely loved it, and that is the reason why we are here again to coach the teachers so that when we are gone they can stay back and also coach the kids. We shall be doing this in schools in Yaounde and Buea. We also plan to meet the authorities of the British High Commission here and also the Cameroon minister of sports to discuss the development of cricket.

Apart from training, what else does the Cameroon Cricket Association stand to benefit from her partnership with CWB; any financial assistance?

What we can do is to donate cricket kits including bats, balls and wickets which the children can use in playing cricket. No financial donations.       

What about scholarships to students to go study cricket in Britain or some other country?

For now that is quite difficult. Our concern now especially in this our second visit is to concentrate on building cricket in Cameroon. May be we will try to figure out later where we can go from here.
