The day started early for Josh, James and me (Warren). Alarm went off at 6:15(!) as we had been given the opportunity by Lee (who happens to be the head coach of the Rwandan men\u2019s team) to train with some of the national team at the main stadium just over the road. So, at 7 we were at the ground and asked to run some fielding drills. These are proper cricketers and most of our coaching is with teenagers, but undaunted we set up two stations and put them through their paces. To be honest, I don\u2019t think we let the side down and also had a couple of trundles in the net. For those that are interested, my one ball was straight and didn\u2019t get hit for four: that\u2019s a win\u2026 and fair to say that the Rwanda team doesn\u2019t have much to fear from us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we were off at 8am to our first school, which was our first trip outside Kigali. There were sessions at the school in GS Musave, which after the first couple of days of relative calm certainly was a more challenging affair, with in excess of 400 kids in two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick drive for lunch and rehydration at a place recommended by Freddie was just the ticket. Chris and I suggested a coffee stop as well on our way to the next school, St Ignace (which was a totally different proposition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
