We are so honored to be partnering with Andy Smallman, Founder of Kind Living this year. Andy is the Chief of the International Kindness Team. He is the founding director of Puget Sound Community School, an independent school in Seattle for students in grades 6-12. With his wife, Melinda Shaw, and a dedicated group of parents, he started the school in 1994 to help students build on their strengths and nurture their intrinsic motivation.
In 2012, Andy was asked if he could adapt one of his kindness classes for Septemeber Compassion Games, and he is back in 2018 and again in 2019. In response, Andy developed “The Secret Agent of Compassion.” When you sign up to play, you get free access to 13 daily missions written by Andy Smallman and designed art from Fish Astronaut.
