JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 6 September 2007 -- It was all song and dance as sporting heroes from the cricketing world arrived at the Little Champs Sports Academy in Alexandra township.
Ross Taylor, Jeetan Patel and Gareth Hopkins from the New Zealand Black Caps cricket team are in South Africa for the inaugural World Twenty 20 championships, and have taken time out of their training schedule to visit and coach children from the academy.
The visit was part of UNICEF's continuing partnership with the International Cricket Council (ICC), which promotes the Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS global campaign and aims to reinvigorate life skills programmes for young people in order to decrease their vulnerability to HIV infection.
