Agami Year-End Fundraiser (YEFR) Campaign 2022, with a glimpse of Chess Guild Impact and Growth.
Agami provided 56 chess boards for the students to play in the schools besides providing 93 chess boards for each of the Agami Chess Guild students in 2 piloting schools to practice chess at home. Recently 25 Agami Chess Guild students (14 Girls and 11 boys) took part in the Carnival Chess Festival 2021 organized by Dot lines Group at the Police Lines, Mirpur, Dhaka. Grandmasters Reefat Bin Sattar, Ziaur Rahman, and Agami created an opportunity for these underprivileged children to come in touch with these Grandmasters and play chess with them which was only a dream to them. Agami has a plan to expand this course to other schools and bring out the talents from among the disadvantaged children and at the same time help, students become creative, logical, and rational.
