Through one of the world’s largest live connections of students at one time – Skype-a-Thon participants traveled a total of 23,629,665 virtual miles over two days from 102 countries. Hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and guest speakers came together over Skype to learn with each other and stories and experiences they shared opened hearts and minds!
What made the experience even more special is that the 23 million virtual miles traveled, raised funds to support the education resources for up to 35,000 children in need in WE Villages – supporting UN Sustainability Development Goal #4, Quality Education.
