The Gift of Chess had the privilege of visiting Ziwani School for the Deaf in Mombasa to donate chess sets made from Discarded waste by Kijiji Solutions in Kibera, Kenya. In the photo, you can see 9 of the first students who immediately showed interest in learning the game. They were holding their new green-and-white chessboards with so much pride. In total, the school has over 40 learners who are eager to join the chess club once training starts. What struck me most was their reaction. Chess is a silent game - you don't need to speak to play. For these children, that was powerful. The moment they held the boards, their faces lit up. Some were already making the sign for "game" and "king" in sign language, others were just smiling and showing each other the pieces. One of the teachers told me, "This is the first time they are getting a game where everyone is equal." It was a humbling and emotional experience. This is more than just a donation; it's giving them a new language to think, compete, and express themselves. We are now planning weekly training sessions at Ziwani School for the Deaf in January when Schools re-open. @Doshbg
