CTC is excited to welcome a new team member, David Li, to join the Global Outreach Program and take the position of Managing Director. An avid chess fan and a quickly improving chess player, David hopes to be part of the initiative that expands chess around the globe, giving more people an opportunity to study and enjoy the game, and transfer their chess expertise to life skills.
David is currently working with WIM Ellen Wang and IM Evan Park to collect donations to Salama Gachie, a school in Nairobi, Kenya, where CTC helped establish a chess club in 2016. The donations, including chess supplies, chess books and cash fund will help enlarge the chess program at Salama Gachie, enable the club members to study chess on their own, and sponsor them to compete at local chess tournaments.
In his consistent effort to bring chess to more communities around the world, David hopes to supply books, sets, lessons, and other resources to children who cannot access such materials, starting from Salama Gachie. Ultimately, David wants to spread his love for chess and create opportunities for those who are equally passionate about the game.
