Symonds takes a break from 'cushy life'

Andrew Symonds has been keeping himself busy while recovering from his biceps injury, but not just by training and lounging at the team hotel. Symonds and Michael Hussey spent a day visiting a Teen Mother Centre in St Kitts, where they saw the challenges faced by single mums who returned to finish their education.

Symonds was impressed by the dedication shown by the locals. One woman even went on to study law. "We seem to live a fairly cushy life," he told AAP. "We don't see a great deal of hardship. It's very sobering to see other things that actually go on.

"You hear about these things but actually coming and seeing them and experiencing it, I think it's much-needed. It's good for your own humanity.” The visit was for the Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign run in part by UNICEF and UNAIDS.
