Over the years , SPAVA has had more than 60 volunteers and taught in more than 40 schools around town . Of course , the pandemic and virtual learning pushed them back a bit with not being able to teach in schools , but they are bringing lessons back to students in-person this fall . Dr . Doris Mann , retired teacher and current principal of St . Andrew Academy , serves as the Director of SPAVA and Mark Hudson serves as President . Under their leadership and guidance from Dr . Banerjee and the rest of their Board , they are determined to bring SPAVA back to the youth of Louisville .
Teaching these lessons in schools can be difficult , but it is an experience that is truly rewarding , he said . Physicians can be great mentors in this program , showing children an example of hard work and dedication and often boosting the morale of children . For more information on how to get involved and to schedule mentor training , visit their website at www . spava . us or contact Dr . Doris Mann .

“ We must be examples for the children . None of us is perfect in our behavior , certainly I am not . But the idea is that we try to demonstrate good manners by our behavior and actions how we can do things for others . We must shine when we help others . The more we do for others , the more we become better people ,” Dr . Banerjee said .
