“When you see someone like myself train and speak, people admire the courage; they admire the level of confidence – even if it is a thousand or 2,000 you are speaking to. We had the desire to see how we could translate that same confidence right in the kids outside the classroom. We looked at it and said what way can we train these kids consistently and achieve a particular result without necessarily taking them through the classroom method? And that was what gave birth to the spelling bee project that was launched October 14th 2008,” he said.
