Day 10: Closing reflection Day
Student Trip Blog
Today we woke up bright and early for breakfast, where we had saugage with onions, toast, and corn tortillas. After breakfast we made our way to the CAP Site and got straight to work. We all worked towards cleaning and organizing barrels, painting the new structures, and re-organizing the barrel recycling system. With reminders to keep drinking water and having many snacks, the engery and vibes for the last CAP day stayed high. Our time today was short but efficient, and everyone worked hard together as a unit. As leaders of the day we did our best to keep spirits high with some silliness and joy; the most important thing that we learned today was that it’s not how you begin, but instead, how you finish.
Lisenia and I gave our words of appreciation to the principal of the Santa Ana school, Thersa, the bilingual teacher, and Carlos, the head contractor. They all shared their collective love and thankfulness for the Global Glimpse community and we shared lots of hugs. Here are some pictures from the site:
On the bus ride back we blasted Super Shy by New Jeans in honor of Lisenia’s silly request and were surprised by seeing our king Mateo; still feeling a bit uneasy but happy to see us again (We all missed him a lot). After a hard day’s work, we ate steak and rice with pina rice juice and wrote thoughtful letter of appreciation to our Global Glimpse supporters. During our freetime, we took a group trip to the plaza where some people were able to get some nice stuff.
Today was very eventful and fun, we’rre looking forward to our beach day tomorrow and to support the next leaders of the day: Janai and Bri.
P.S. Ma I miss you lots and I can’t wait to see you Lori, Dad, and Gram. Love you guys — Menorah
Linettie I miss you chunky monky 😛 — Chena

GG’s to all you Glimpsters!
It’s nice being able to read and view updated photos of all the work you have been putting in this week.
What you all are doing is no easy task. Being away from your family/pets and friends is difficult as it is, and to do it another country is next level…
Happy to see everyone coming together, supporting one another to help make changes outside of their own.
Keep up the good work, the morale high, and enjoy the all of the time that you have left there..
For Alanna J,
Cheese sticks! Cheese sticks! Cheese sticks! Cheese sticks! Cheese sticks!
Coco, Laney and I can’t wait until you get back from Paraguay!
Love you!
