Co-founder and trustee, Ed Williams has written an article for Al Jazerra about the Charity's journey from its formation and its first trip from Cairo to Cape Town, to its present state as one of the most innovative sports and HIV charities in Africa.

Ed speaks passionately about the impact that one little girl had on the shape of the charity, called Eva.

"I was coaching in the Kenyan slum of Thika with my charity, Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB). It was there I found a frail girl in the final stages of AIDS.

For some time Eva had been too ill to get out of bed, but on this one day, she was able to hit the winning runs on a rubbish-strewn and parched land.

Her smile lit up the project and convinced us of the power cricket could have in helping those with HIV/AIDS.

Speaking about how central AIDS awareness is to CWB's work, Ed said

"We hope cricket can play a part in protecting future generations. The link between cricket and HIV/AIDS awareness may not be immediately obvious, but we found that coaches are in a unique position to help."

Ed ended the article with a call for volunteers to get involved in the forthcoming Autumn projects.
