Vyanla is representing NZ in the 43rd Chess Olympiad in Georgia and we are fundraising for her.
Chess is not currently funded by NZ govt that's why we are raising funds to help Vyanla cover the costs for attending the Olympiad.
Taranaki
WCM Vyanla Punsalan, my 14 year old niece, is part of the womens team which will represent New Zealand at the 43rd World Chess Olympiad to be held at Batumi, Georgia from 22 Sept to 6 Oct 2018. This is a major event that involves teams from over 150 countries. It will be much appreciated if you can help her cover expenses for the trip.
We are also selling Cookie Time Cookies ($1 per cookie) and Whittaker Chocolates ($2 per bar) for fundraising. If you are interested, please contact me at 021 083 34720 or email me at kentjulve@gmail.com.
