Dear
@Tunde_OD
we would like to match every donation dollar for dollar up to $10,000.
Good luck…NYC stands with you!!
On the 17th of April 2024, I will attempt to break the Guiness World record for the longest Chess marathon in the heart of Times Square New York City for 58 hours without losing a game.
Doing this for the dreams of millions of children across Africa without access to education.

George is one of greatest men I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. He’s not one for fame. Quietly he has made a tremendous impact not only in Burkina Faso but globally through the people he’s touched along the way. Thanks
@Tunde_OD
for shinning such a beautiful light ❤️
Stone by stone.
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world with more than 770k orphaned and vulnerable children.
Then there's the story of a man, who has given decades of his life to providing shelter and education for these orphans so they can afford to dream.

The only future worth dreaming of is one that includes all of us! After a successful launch in NYC, we have now expanded to three other initiatives - global, prison, and elderly outreach - with the ultimate goal of distributing 1,000,000 chess sets by 2030.

The kids say they’re most glad for what chess has taught them about life — and perseverance in challenging times.
“…There is always hope even when it looks bad,” said Dean. “Even if you don’t think that you can do something, you should always try in a positive way.”
