In Pakistan, Cricket is the single most appreciated sport activity. Even more so, it is a part of the daily life. When you travel through remote mountainous areas where flat surfaces are close to nonexistant, the youngest still find a way to practice even in very rough conditions.Hours on end, schoolboys, students, young and not so young are struggling to win a game with the loosers wanting an immediate repeat.

In the mountainous Districts of Khyberpukhtunkhwa (KPK), numbers of families are living in remote places and in order to survive cultivate small parcels of terraced land with rice or maize and breed cattle and other livestock. Some schoolchildren have to walk over an hour on difficult and dangerous steep trails to reach their school. Some of these areas were theaters of heavy combats in 2009, when the Pakistani Armed Forces dislodged and chased the Taliban from those Districts which are now slowly moving towards being "secured zones". Population movement from combat areas were quickly followed by return and recovery of livelihood, sometimes in an environment highly contaminated by ERW.

FSD's teams undertaking the Risk Education Campaign also have to walk up mountainous sides, sometimes for an hour, to reach their targetted at-risk population or to find a lost cricket “oval”.

The youth is running rather carelessly in these surrounding, unaware of the potential dangers of unexploded ordnance left behind on the battle fields. FSD particularly targets these youth, and through sessions deliver cricket bats as prizes to children responding best to the little quizzes of our Risk Education Teams.
