Every new week ushers in new opportunities. Forget about what didn't work last week, what didn't align for you.

It's another week to go again, with fresh energy. May it be a week that you're proud of.

This summer, give your child the opportunity to think, play, and grow with Chess in Slums Africa, through a 4-week chess summer class that is designed to help children sharpen their minds, build confidence, and connect with peers through the game of chess.

From August 3rd to August 27th, children aged 7 to 16 will have the opportunity to train with our seasoned coaches and learn directly from some of our in-house champions. Each session is curated to bring out the best in every participant, whether they’re picking up a chess piece for the first time or already mastering their openings. They will also get to wrap up with a fun and competitive tournament with awards and prizes!

A few weeks ago, I shared that I needed help getting my international passport for an upcoming chess opportunity.

We are excited to announce that we won the @WorldBankGroup Youth Innovation Fund grant, selected as one of seven finalists from a highly competitive pool of 57 proposal submissions to fund the next phase of our “Chess to Dream” After-School Program for public secondary school students in Lagos.

This means more students reached, a stronger digital skills curriculum, and greater access to technology-driven learning.

We believe that Talent is universal and as a result, Opportunity shouldn’t be the exception.

Special shoutout to Evangeline Inyang, Precious Ozegbe, and Levon Gyozalyan for championing this proposal and to @lufthansa and Help Alliance for making our Innovation Hub possible.

A chessboard can be the starting point of a dream. We’re proving it everyday♟️

A new week doesn't automatically bring new results.

What makes the difference is how you approach it.

Here's to a week of learning, improvement, and making every move count. ♟️✨

We took the game of chess to 3 public schools in Lagos and watched 79 students become something far greater than chess players.

Across 13 weeks, cohort 2 of our Chess to Dream, After-School program didn't just teach chess, it gave students from Mobolaji Bank-Anthony, Aje Comprehensive & Wesley Girls Junior Secondary School the skills, mindset, and confidence to think bigger and go further.

When you teach a child to think several moves ahead, you don't just create better chess players, you create Africa's next problem-solvers, innovators, and dreamers.

A very special thank you to @midenhq for believing in this vision and investing in the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of Africa.

To every Cohort 2 participant, this is just the beginning🎓📷
