Get on board and help promote chess
Chess lessons will be offered when the children are not cycling.
IN an effort to stimulate thinking and strategising, the GO!Durban Cycle Academy is appealing for any unwanted, used or new chess sets.
The academy has three sites in Durban, as part of the eThekwini Municipality’s GO!Durban integrated rapid public transport network’s endeavour to develop a culture of cycling. Hosted in partnership with the Durban Green Corridor and cycling professionals Peschlsports, the academy mentors youth at cycle parks in KwaMashu, KwaDabeka and Inanda in cycling skills.
The children receive homework and academic support, and now, as part of the academy’s goal to promote thinking and strategising, chess lessons will be offered during times when the children are not cycling.
Anyone interested in donating chess sets, can drop them off the Green Hub, 12 Lagoon Drive, near Blue Lagoon. For more information, email info@godurban.co.za.
