Visit by England Cricket Team to ASF Bangladesh
PAUL COLLINGWOOD AND COLLEAGUES VISIT ACID SURVIVORS.
England have just finished playing Bangladesh in a series of test matches and one-day internationals. Ten members of the England contingent
including captain Alistair Cook, Kevin Peterson and Paul Collingwood visited the Acid Survivors Foundation in Dhaka. They toured the nursing and
rehabilitation centre and met many of the survivors, including eight children who had been injured in acid attacks. The players were great! They sat on the beds chatting (through interpreters) to the women and gave all the children “high fives” as they left.

As one of the players, said, “We lead a privileged life, playing cricket and touring the World. But we often don’t meet many local people. Today we feel privileged to meet the survivors and see the magnificent work of the Acid Survivors Foundation in Bangladesh.”
We thank Paul Collingwood for subsequent support to Acid Survivors. by John Morrison
