En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate.

The resolution notes Smith is one of only three Georgians and 232 people worldwide to accomplish this feat. It also highlights his religious faith and his work managing an orphanage in Jefferey's Bay, South Africa for children who lost parents to AIDS.
