On boards made from waste plastic in Goma, DRC have recently introduced chess at EPHATA, a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children, We have also introduced chess at ALPHA, a secondary school. We donated 20 chess sets to help them get started, and we had a discussion with the school management about purchasing additional sets so that we can make our chess sessions easier to organize and reach more students.

By the way, this was my undergraduate thesis last year. Been a gamer since my childhood days so it was pretty nice to execute on this with the Corporate edition of chess & cappuccino. Thank you so much to everyone that made this possible!
