Raj Jewellery donates Gy$100K to GCF’s ChessKid programme
Raj Jewellery has supported the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) with a donation of $100K towards the ChessKid programme. This will aid in boosting chess development among youths across Guyana.
Anthony Drayton was on hand to receive the cheque on behalf of the GCF
FM Anthony Drayton was on hand to accept the cheque on behalf of the Federation on Saturday October 1st, during a chess exhibition at the Giftland Mall.
ChessKid.com is a virtual platform used by the GCF to introduce young players to the game of chess with puzzles, lessons, educational videos, and unlimited live chess. It also allows children to play against players from other schools around their age and skill level. More than 200 local youths are actively engaged on the platform.
A normal ‘gold’ licence allows children to access an unlimited number of learning resources. Donations such as this one allow the Guyana Chess Federation to provide more children with access to chess free of cost. This contribution is significant to the development of junior players in Guyana. The Guyana Chess Federation has seen membership more than triple this year due to efforts of the Federation’s hard-working team to bring chess to more schools outside of Region Four.
Raj Jewellery was established in 1992, and has since retailed the finest hand-crafted luxury jewellery items using all high-quality gold and diamonds. Raj has over 25 years of experience in hand crafting breath-taking and authentic items of jewellery.
The Federation is elated to partner with Raj Jewellery as the sport of chess continues to develop in Guyana.
