Chairman of The UWI Development and Endowment Fund, Dr Sterling Frost O.R.T.T. in his address to the hundreds of awardees gathered with well-wishers underscored the importance of \u201cpaying it forward\u201d. In his address, Dr. Frost stated:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCatherine Hyde&#8217;s book introduced the concept of &#8220;paying it forward.&#8221; In the novel, Reuben St. Clair, a Social Studies teacher, inspired his students to come up with ideas to change the world. One student, Trevor Mckinney, spawned an idea called &#8220;Pay it Forward&#8221; which encouraged networking of good deeds for charity. It is a simple yet powerful concept that encourages individuals to perform random acts of kindness for others, with the hope that they will in turn pay it forward to someone else. By doing so, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and generosity that can transform the world we live in.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please enjoy a recap of our 2023-2024 Award Ceremony.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UWIDEF  Awards 2023 Recap\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N-v8egzZPNI?start=28&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
