The HHCF wants to share a glimpse of reality
I try to tell people the HHCF is not for everybody. If you want to be a show off chess guy who wants to brag about ratings and your favorite opening all day- we don't want you. If you care about people from all walks of life and you are willing to learn from people totally unlike you- welcome.
Above is a clip from my daily walk to and from the school I work at in San Francisco. The area is plagued with poverty, hunger and homelessness. Nevertheless a lot of kids with good hearts brave these streets everyday to get an education. Its not easy, but it must be done...This is the first of a series...We do this to show you exactly who we serve. More soon.
