All our children need is just a chance, someone who believes in them, helps guide them along, and helps them shine.

Tanitoluwa Adewumi, homeless and living in a shelter, was only seven years old when he sat down at a chessboard in school and learned how to play. Thus, began his journey and the love of playing chess.
