Maasai cricketers and England’s top bowler unite against HIV, FGM
By Joseph D'Urso LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When playing cricket, as when practising safe sex, it is best to wear protection, be faithful to one's partner, and duck away from anything that seems a bit risky, says Sonyanga Ole Ngais, captain of the Maasai Cricket Warriors, a Kenyan side. A group of young Maasai men are taught to play cricket, wearing white leg pads and gloves as well as traditional Maasai dress, their red shawls and bright jewels fluttering as they learn to bowl, bat and catch against stunning landscapes.
