A group shot with everyone. (click on any pictures to enlarge them)
Basically the National Insurance Corporation of Saint Lucia has a community development branch called the National Community Development Foundation that provides some funding for supplies and 4-5 staff to help put on a training camp for the youth of selected villages through the summer one week at time. The goal is to provide training in the arts and foster the development of analytical skills through the game of chess.
It was a wonderful, stressful, fun, stretching experience. (did I mention I am terrified of little kids)

A shot with me and Big Dog with all the children.
