86 - George Abraham on Blind Cricket and Score Foundation In India

Loading player...
In this episode I chat with George Abraham, founder of Score Foundation in India.

During the conversation we discuss George’s involvement in blind cricket in India, and his role in the creation of the World Blind Cricket Council, of which he was elected as the first Chairperson in 1996. In this role he and his team conceived and organised the inaugural World Cup of Cricket for the Blind.

George also shares the work he is doing with Score Foundation to support visually impaired people in India, and his podcast Eyeway Conversations, on which I was recently a guest.

George’s links are below, and you can listen to my Eyeway Conversations guest interview at https://anchor.fm/eyeway/episodes/Eyeway-Conversations-with-Lois-Strachan-e1vj1vv#app-content
