Lucy, Martha and Rose Abrahamson will be the Marketing Directors at North Barrington School for developing ideas and marketing the Hough Street Chess Tournament. They have been active in supporting service at Chess Without Borders but they have made a commitment to organize their skills in helping raise funds for Meher who is their contemporary in age but lives on the other side of the world. Meher lives in the slums of Delhi, India and with the educational support from students like Lucy, Martha and Rose she has done exceedingly well in school. 100% of the proceeds from the Hough Street School Chess Tournament will go towards paying for Meher’s school.
The girls have responded generously with their donation of time and skills as the picture below shows them volunteering at the South Elgin Rehabilitation Center 2 years ago. All of them are part of the NBS chess club.
