Amalachi Clarke got Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s autograph on the back of his shirt at Kensington Oval yesterday.
Clarke was among a group of young cricketers who were guests of ‘Shiv’, the West Indies players and UNAIDS.
During a training session, UNAIDS officials shared a vision for the elimination of paediatric HIV in the Caribbean.
The officials were backed up by Chanderpaul and West Indies captain Darren Sammy, who shared their vision of generations of West Indian people working together to reach the goal of “getting to zero” new HIV infections.
It was part of the Think Wise campaign, a global partnership between UNAIDS, UNICEF, the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Global Media AIDS Initiative to use the power of cricket to tackle the spread of AIDS.
