Thank you all for coming. It was the first Knights monthly event of the year 2020. 14 players were at Cabal Christian College, Gazaland Highfield yesterday sharpening their skills. Due to an earlier post about unavailability of sponsorship this 2020 for the monthly events in our watsapp groups; some players may have opted not to take part in the Jan event. Knights Academy has introduced a small affiliation to cover some important event and venue expenses. The tough economic environment is threatening to end the *Non-Profit making Knights community project*; .. we have to adapt to survive and continue. The foundation of the Knights project is *pure passion* for the youngsters to break a new ground and excel. Games/Sports like chess teach ; teamwork, working towards goals, fighting skills, handling defeats & dissapointments..a catalyst to build youngsters. A parent chipped in late Friday and generously donated prizes for the juniors who showed up on Saturday for motivational purposes. Thank you to the parent!; the greatest treasure in any community is in what we do for each other…its a team effort.
Scholars in the junior section came from; St Martins Convent, Shiriyedenga, Zuvarabuda, and Gobvu Primary Mhondoro.
