Today I realized children in Rwanda have so little – and yet so much. From the moment I arrived in this beautiful country I realize despite the great atrocities of 20 years ago the children of Rwanda are building a future together and through the great medium of cricket with CWB learning the messages for a healthy future.
You couldn't help being moved by their smiling faces, their cheery ways and the complete passion and excitement when the CWB mini bus arrived on their football pitch or at their school. I ended the day listening to a great group of young singers and joining in a bit. Have no doubt you followers this is a great trip and you in turn take home far more than I could ever give.

Emma, what a brilliant video! I am so impressed that you have gone to Rwanda to support CWB and such a worthy cause, you will inspire so many, coaches and children alike. Here's to lots more people following your example! You inspire me so much.

Great Emma! Their enthusiasm sizzles off the ground…Rwanda does seem to be one of the success stories, thanks to programmes like this which focus so much of the energy in the young. Enjoy and sing-along! Love Wills
