Cricket continues to provide a welcome diversion for boys and girls living in refugee camps in Lebanon.
Having escaped from war torn Syria, these young refugees now living in Beirut, have had to endure the uncertainty of the ongoing conflict in the region. However, such is their resilience and love of the game that they continue to play and excel in cricket as well as other areas of their education including art and music. Sport as an integral part of their lives goes on in the most challenging of circumstances.
Young cricket coaches from the UK supported by Youth Sport Trust International have had to return home for safety reasons but their own lives haves been enriched by their time coaching young refugees in Lebanon.
With your help Youth Sport Trust International will find ways to continue supporting Shatila Refugee Camp and the Alsama Centre in Beirut.
