The Capacity for Greatness

Chess master Tunde Onakoya founded "Chess in Slums Africa" in 2018 to teach poor children a game which has problem solving, strategy, and a sense of pride. Tunde says he lives by and teaches an African philosophy known as “Ubuntu,” which emphasizes being self through others. “We believe every child has the capacity for greatness.”
“We need to reach deep into ourselves and find the sacred spark that represents all that is best in us, which knows who we really are and who we can be. Remind ourselves that we are here to share this spirit of life and love with others, to blossom and help others to blossom.” – Roger Courtney, United Church of Christ
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, today I rediscover my true self, awakening to the beauty and miracles that are ever-present in my life and in the lives of others. I turn within and feel the love of God. I reach out and connect with other blessed souls on the journey. We are standard-bearers of Life’s greatness. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
