UNICEF: ICC Twenty 20 Cricket contest bats against HIV/AIDS

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 12 September 2007 -- The worlds of cricket and AIDS prevention united for children yesterday at the start of the ICC World Twenty 20 tournament.

As South Africa took to the field against the West Indies for the first match on Tuesday night, messages from the Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS campaign were broadcast throughout the stadium and on television screens around the world.

Building on a successful partnership at the ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies earlier this year, the International Cricket Council (ICC), UNAIDS and UNICEF have teamed up once again to draw attention to the plight of children and young people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
