Personal message

I am thrilled that my son Zamian Robbetze, a Gr 10 learner at Hoërskool Kempton Park, has been selected to represent his school in the prestigious upcoming Northwest University’s prestige series schools chess tournament in Potchefstroom from 8 – 10 April 2024!

As a parent, witnessing his dedication, passion, and growth in chess has been truly remarkable. Chess isn’t just a game; it’s a powerful tool for intellectual development, critical thinking, and character building. Here’s why your support matters:

1. Empowering Young Minds: By donating to this cause, you directly contribute to empowering young minds like Zamian’s.
2. Levelling the Playing Field: Unfortunately, not all students have equal access to the necessary resources. Your contribution ensures that a talented player can participate and thrive.
3. Creating Future Leaders: Chess teaches patience, adaptability, and the ability to foresee consequences. These qualities shape future leaders who can navigate challenges with grace.
4. Supporting Our School’s Legacy: Our school has a rich history of excellence in chess. Your donation helps us continue this legacy and inspires the next generation of chess enthusiasts.
5. The Journey Ahead: The Northwest University’s tournament is a significant milestone. It’s an opportunity for Zamian to compete against top players, learn from masters, and forge lasting friendships.

How You Can Make a Difference:

As a single parent, it is very challenging for me financially to raise the necessary funds in such a short space of time to be able to let him go, but I cannot bring myself to deprive him of the opportunity. He has been working very hard for this for the past 3 years.

• Your donation, no matter how small, directly impacts Zamian’s journey. It covers travel expenses, accommodation, meals, insurance, and tournament fees.
• Consider sharing this cause with friends, family, and fellow chess enthusiasts. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change.
