On Tuesday last, the Guyana Chess Federation, (GCF) received welcomed financial support from GAICO Construction Company, intensifying the Federation’s efforts without risk in the midst of the pandemic to introduce chess online FREE to more children in partnership with US based company, www.Chesskids.com.
The cheque was handed over to Anand Raghunauth, Chairman of the GCF’s Chess-in-Schools Committee who expressed gratitude to the company for the timely donation. The funds will be utilised to cover additional fees to Chesskids and expand the GCF’s capability to further spread the learning of the game by young minds.
Champa Maraj, Office Manager of GAICO Construction, remarked at the simple handing-over ceremony at its Georgetown office that the firm is pleased to once again contribute to the GCF in the interest of sport and Guyanese children.
