GM Shulman and his students have continued the tradition of service and philanthropy by donating a portion of the proceeds from chess camps held over the summer . Students who attend the camps have made it possible to help raise $200 for educational programs at Project Why schools. Project Why is an NGO serving the community in the Govindpuri slums of Delhi, India to provide education and other services. Chess Without Borders has sent volunteers and has established a long standing relationship with them to help wherever and whenever possible. GM Shulman and the chess community, in addition, has raised almost $26,000 for medical services for Meher who was a burn victim from Govindpuri. Meher has had several plastic surgeries for her face and hands which have allowed her to excel in school. Although Meher remains disfigured she is able to excel in school and the chess community is supporting her education.
These acts of kindness are generated through chess students engaging in learning and volunteering therefore directly having an impact on people and communities around the world.
Below is a picture of students from Quest Academy Summer Chess Camps who are engaged in learning and making an impact at an early age by helping others not as fortunate as them.
