We previously shared a fantastic story about our Garden Spot Middle School teacher, Dr. David Smith, for his commitment to the Kiva Foundation, and a project he started over 15 years ago with his students! The previous article can be found here!
Join us in congratulating Dr. Smith for his extraordinary commitment and impact he has made in the lives of people around the world, as well as the lessons taught to his students over the years! Recently, Dr. Smith was awarded the 2024 Dr. Finbarr O'Connor Prize for Shifting the Paradigm, for his project "One Million Dollar Team"!
The prize funds will go directly back into the Kiva program and "One Million Dollar Team" to provide additional microloans for small businesses all over the world! 
Read all about his most recent accomplishment on Arcadia University's website!
