Nickname:\u00a0At work ‘Professor’; at cricket ‘Cymbals<\/p>\n

Home Town: North London<\/p>\n

I am volunteering for CWB in Uganda because: I’ve been on four CWB projects and loved every minute. I have found a regular boost of smiles from enthusiastic children keeps me going at work for the rest of the year and everyone at CWB who has been to Uganda tells me how beautiful it is, so I want to see for myself.<\/p>\n

Why Am I nearly famous – Nearly famous? Don’t you know who I am? I’ve hit an England bowler for 4 and my wife has an OBE!<\/p>\n

First 3 songs when I shuffle my Ipod:<\/p>\n

I am not sure what this meant but I understand the task was to blindfold myself and choose a selection of discs from my LP collection. I found<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Waterloo Sunset – The Kinks (The greatest song about the greatest city in the world)<\/div>\n
2. \u00a0Empire State of Mind – Jay-Z (pretty good song about a fairly interesting city)<\/div>\n
3. Hurt – Johnny Cash (not about any city, but about everything else important in life!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Home Town: Redhill, Surrey<\/p>\n

I am volunteering for CWB in Uganda because: I’m doing this as\u00a0I am extremely passionate about cricket and also about\u00a0the power cricket has to teach valuable life lessons and educating communities around the world. I am lucky enough to have grown up with a very supportive family. Many people do not have this support or people around to offer advice and guidance. If I can help even one person then I am making a difference. Going to Africa is one of my biggest dreams, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for me to help volunteering with\u00a0local communities and giving young people a chance of a better future. (brief-ooppsss-as you can tell I talk too much!!)<\/p>\n
