About Change For Chess

Change for Chess was started by Timmy & Judy Cusack, along with their father Timothy S. Cusack, to help teach the game of Chess to less fortunate children who may not get the opportunity to otherwise learn how to play Chess.  Timmy & Judith are Members of the Monmouth Chess Club, based in Red Bank, NJ, where they are taught Chess by Dr. Michael Koblentz and play Chess against their peers.  The children came up with the idea of joining their mother, Dr. Evelyn Wells, on her most recent trip to Uganda to help teach the Children their how to play Chess.  Dr. Wells agreed to pass along her children’s idea to members of Change A Life Uganda, (CALU) the Organization she travels to Uganda with to help out their medical clinic.  With approval from the CALU Team the Change for Chess Program was off and running.  This blog will detail the Cusack’s Family Trip to Uganda and how that was the Catalyst needed to make Change for Chess a reality!!
