Australia's Nathan Bracken and Brad Hodge will visit a loveLife project, South Africa's national HIV prevention program for youth, to highlight the ongoing battle facing children and young people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
The visit, which will take place between 1445 and 1545 on Wednesday 5 September, is part of the ICC's partnership with UNAIDS, UNICEF and loveLife at the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 2007, which takes place in South Africa from 11 to 24 September.
Members of the media are invited to accompany the players on the visit to the loveLife Orange Farm Y-Centre. Please contact Botha Swart from loveLife if you wish to attend.
loveLife Y-Centres provide hubs for regional networks of franchise holders, adolescent friendly clinics and outreach programs. They serve as best-practice sites for youth leadership development and adolescent clinical services; training venues for groundBREAKER and loveLifestyle programs; and provide trained facilitators to support the loveLife Games and other outreach programs, generators of ideas and content for loveLife media.
