As you know, we are getting very close to our departure date next month, so everyone is running around trying to finalize as much as possible before we leave. In my last post, I mentioned our education initiative. We have been very excited about the feedback we are getting on this project and it is building up quite a head of steam. Development of this worthwhile endeavor is one of the main reasons we pushed our original departure date back a month. One of the highlights thus far has to have been the assembly we put on last week for students at the Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS). <\/p>\n<p>When Kate Farmer, the DCIS community coordinator approached us with the concept about doing an assembly in front of 400 kids, I was more than a little nervous about getting up on stage, but it turned out to be a really cool experience. Last Wednesday, the TWBR team put together a presentation to introduce ourselves to the school and get them excited not only about the expedition, but about the exciting projects we have planned for them. We started out the presentation with a short video introduction and in true Shoppman style, Steve then entered the stage with a full round-out (sort of like a cartwheel with a twist). We proceeded to talk a little bit about the expedition, introduce ourselves and talk about the various projects we will be working with DCIS students on. We then had a brief question and answer period and a world geography trivia session. The kids got really excited when we told them that we had a bunch of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\">Lonely Planet<\/a> t-shirts and books (one of TWBR&#8217;s main sponsors)&nbsp; to hand out to kids who correctly answered questions. <\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was a great time and the kids seemed to be very enthusiastic about he expedition and the opportunity to be a part of it. A few students even came up and had us autograph a LP t-shit for the senior class. We are all very excited about the relationship we have formed with the school and the possibility to help kids learn more about the world they live in. This week is also shaping up to be very busy&#8230; but full of good news. Stay tuned as we will soon be unveiling the trucks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a very busy couple of weeks for the TWBR crew.
