49 Community Impact Projects
3 Times that our bus has broken down

21 Days of Community Impact completed
5594 Miles driven on travel days
83 pounds, the weight of Christine from Connecticut’s suitcase
119 classrooms that we did the Stand for Peace Project in. (However, Matt from Colorado thinks this is the number of children that Ljuan from Macedonia has scared)

61 student applications that were received after the shows by the admissions team
190 cups of coffee have been drunk by Peppe from Sweden

3424 is the total number of hours of community service that our cast has completed!
*Jennie from Tucson said this is the number of bad jokes that Raine from Canada has told, while Stefan from Germany joked that this was actually the number of hairs that Jörn, our Cast Manager has lost!

Konnichiwa Cast B and greetings from Japan! My name is B. Tekla Weiterman and I traveled with UWP’s WorldSmart Leadership Program Fall 2004 and Spring 2005. I also happen to be Raine’s older sister and believe it or not he is the funny one in the family
I hope you are all still “keeping your eye on the ball.” After Europe there is not much tour left to go so enjoy every minute of it. Safe travels Cast B, know that there is a giant network of people all over the world cheering you on.
All the best,
Tekla
P.S. Rainey, I am so proud of you and love you very, very much. It’s just over two months until we are home for Christmas. Can’t wait!
