We resume distribution of Chess sets with the "Chess in Education" initiative.
On Jan. 30, we visit the American International School of Monrovia (AISM) with the purpose of spreading the Gift of Chess. We were glad to know there is already an established Chess environment at the school.
One of the kids were opportune to take a game with 2x Champ Bobby Ballah while the others watched and learned.
We look forward to visiting schools, communities, orphanages, establishments, etc., with the goal of spreading Chess.
It is important that we teach kids to think independently and analyze every decisions they make. This is the first step to building a society of critical thinkers.
