Why did you volunteer with Cricket Without Boundaries?<\/strong>
I\u2019ve been in love with cricket since I saw my first game, and I have greatly enjoyed coaching over the last few years, and helping other young people develop a love for the game. Nepal seems like an amazing place that I wouldn\u2019t be likely to visit if it wasn\u2019t for CWB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Working at Sainsbury\u2019s and having lots of nets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you most excited to learn during your time in Nepal? Discovering a part of the world that I\u2019ve never been to and travelling abroad for the first time on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you volunteer with Cricket Without Boundaries?<\/strong>
I breathe Cricket in every possible way and when came to know about CWB, badly wanted to give a go. Cricket and Coaching is food and water for me, to do that in Nepal an emerging cricket loving country it would be one of my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>If I weren\u2019t volunteering, I would have been coaching my kids at home and club boys n girls for upcoming season and getting trained myself for another big season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Am excited to see the passion for cricket in Nepal, as being an Indian Nationality I might not feel alien to the condition (I hope so)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disk – <\/strong>Definitely any love Tamil song of AR Rahman (my local language)
Snack –<\/strong> Anything and Everything (even though am in strict diet)
Cricket \u2013<\/strong> Cricbuzz app without which my days are not gone by. Even now while typing this I went through what\u2019s the score of 3 different games that\u2019s going around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Why did you volunteer with Cricket Without Boundaries?<\/strong>
I had heard great things about CWB trips so decided to see for myself. I am passionate about the game of cricket and excited to experience it in a different part of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I wasn’t on this trip I would be in a lab working with my students on physics experiments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m excited to experience Nepal, see some of the country and how cricket is developing there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Song –<\/strong> Enola Gay by OMD\u2026 always makes me dance around the kitchen.
Food – <\/strong>cheese and onion pasty (hard to walk past a Greggs!!)
Cricket –<\/strong> scorebook and a pair of dice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Why did you volunteer with Cricket Without Boundaries?<\/strong>
I have always had an interest in international development and believed in the power of sport to support young people and communities. So when I heard about CWB it was a no-brainer to try and join a trip myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I wasn’t on this trip I would be sitting in my office coding with one eye on the champions trophy scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am excited to learn about the different ways in which CWB s programs are helping Nepali communities, as well as trying lots of Nepali food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
