Checkers for a cause

 


Outside of a shopping center in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, 10-year-old Valeria Yezhova awaits her next opponent. She has been challenging strangers to checkers games in order to raise money for the Ukrainian army. Oh, and she's also a literal champion checkers player -- the world and European Champion for her age group, to be exact. That doesn't deter passersby who are eager to sit with her to contribute to a good cause, get mercilessly routed on the board, or just meet the young girl who has become a sensation in her home country. She has raised hundreds of dollars to donate to a foundation run by celebrity activist Serhiy Prytula, which secures humanitarian aid and equipment for Ukraine's military. "You would rather lose to her, she is doing a great job helping the Ukrainian army. She has probably touched the whole of Ukraine," says one of her thwarted challengers."These children are a great example of how we can help each other," says another.
