Hello everyone, My name is IGIRANEZA Aime Gondra, a 2nd-year pharmacy student at Olivia University, Burundi. I’m interested in pharmacy, digital health, gamification, and chess. I’m also the founder of the Burunga Chess Association, and I have been involved in different chess clubs in Burundi, including Olivia University Chess Club,Rutana Chess Club.......Through chess, I’m interested in exploring how games can make learning and health-related activities more engaging across all areas of my country.

These 1,000 chess sets were manufactured in Nairobi Kenya and are part of the ongoing efforts from The Gift of Chess to distribute 1,000,000 chess sets globally by 2030
