Re AIDS day Very interesting statistics. The report that I have just read (supplied by BONASO) was dated 2008 and used statistics from 2007. Encouraging progress, but still 27.9% HIV infection in antenatal attendees - a pretty high number. Incidentally, I have not received an reply back from an Email I sent to BONASO over a week ago. If orgamisations are offered help, surely they should have the decency to reply?
I have worn my ribbon with pride.
And it's all over... Excellent job, Mike (we think it must be you as you mentioned the Camembert).
Ravi - who won the final? also, have you tried Camembert after drinking?

Semi Final result After long discussions, we had agreed that we are going to have a full game(bent some laws)...... Botswana won the game by 29Runs. India were chasing 140 and re-started their innings well and at one stage they were looking like they will chase the score comfortably...tables turned and they were been bowled out for 110.
This reminds me a comment on one of my T shirt..... Wickets are like Wifes, y

Wow You are all doing a fantastic job over there, you should all be really proud of yourselves. The pictures are great I'm suprised Allan hasn't tried to get into more of them with his individual cricketing techniques! May be he is still getting over the propellers on the plane! We all miss you Allan try to come home in one piece and not damage yourself in the last week! Evi-mae's strops have escalated to throwing her jumper on the floor and stamping on it in the middle of a crowded pub then throwing beer mats at mum when told not to do it! and Amber and Harry are set on killing each other by the end of the holidays! I bet you don't want to come home now! Love and kisses from us all and enjoy your last week, Hannah, Amber, Harry and Evie-Mae xxxx
Hi Mouse and Veronika - enjoying the blogs and pictures, just had to print it out for Mum at the office as I dont suppose i can prise the girls off the PC at home for her to have a look. It looks hot and dusty with you, as opposed to cold and wet here! enjoy. Love from The Alfs xx
just great Pictures and comments just great, you must be having a wonderful time keep up the comments and pictures. We loved Violets footwear, the only uniform you should wear.
luv the morbs parents
On behalf of UK charity Cricket Without Boundaries, our band of adventurous cricket coaches and volunteers is making a two-week trip in October 2009 to Botswana, in order to promote positive awareness of HIV/Aids, while coaching cricket to enthusiastic youngsters in the country along the way. We will relish the varied and interesting challenges ahead of us both on and off the field as our adventure unfolds, and we'll include here on our blog contributions and images from each member of our hardy bunch in warts-and-all episodes throughout the trip.
There'll be something for everyone - tears... full info
