Chess in Takoradi

With the support of DDF and our volunteer Philip Sowers we launched a Chess program at the Takoradi Centre. Kids learned about the Chess pieces by making their own from clay and were taken through the different plays for each chess piece. 

On Friday’s he runs an open Chess Day, this allows the Chess Program Kids to bring along a friend and have fun playing and teaching them chess.

After a 6 week program by Philip the program was continued by Dr.Amankwah’s team of the local Chess Association. Designated to run the program at the Centre is Mr Hazal, who is blind and teaches and plays using an adapted board.

On Friday’s he runs an open Chess Day, this allows the Chess Program Kids to bring along a friend and have fun playing and teaching them chess. On Saturday’s the  Chess Program Kids receive tutoring to continue to improve their skills. We are looking forward to enrolling them in a Chess tournament in the near future as Mr. Hazel is very impressed with the talent in the group.
