Assalamualaikum. Greeting from Malaysia.
We are the parents of only a handful chess playing of students ( 20+ students ) in the school of 1200+ students ( Sekolah Kebangsaan Raja Muda , Shah Alam , Selangor , Malaysia) . We believed when our kids play chess, it help them developed their mind and skills.
With the same believe, we hope OTHER kids in the school would be given the same exposure and opportunity to learn the beauty game of chess. So we are collecting donation, to buy chess set to all the classes in the school so that each classes ( standard 1 to standard 6 ) will have at least two ( or more ) chess set .We hope with this iniatiatives their interest will build up, they start to be exposed to chess game, and they will able to play during their class free time.
We want the kids to know that chess is NOT AN EXCLUSIVE game for those who are GENIUS/SMART only, but it meant for all to try and challenge themselves and improves their skills. Everybody at any age , race or religion can play chess.
