Cap Day #3

Good Evening! We had an amazing breakfast with our glimpsers to prepare for our last and final camp day. We left from the accommodation welfare and ready to finish the structure of Maria’s house well fed. We are really satisfied with how the results of the house came. We couldn’t have done it without our program coordinators Julia and Nacho, our GGLs Deborah and Cindy, and of course, our glimpsers.

When we got back, from the Worksite — we had a long amount of free time. We spent time with our friends, playing pool, swimming, and many more. After a seminar, It kicked in that we are really leaving soon. All the connections, friendships, and experiences have taught us many valuable skills that will be useful later on.

Most importantly, we celebrated Jeremy’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jeremey!!

Thanks for reading our blog!

Dear Ali, Hamid, and the rest of the Glimpsers (and GGLs),

So lovely to see all your smiling faces and the pride from the work, learning, and service you did for Sra Maria and her family in beautiful Constanza. I’m so sad not to have been able to join you for this trip, but I’ve been thinking of y’all and checking in from afar. Stay hydrated, stay present, and cherish these moments with each other and this place- these memories and experiences will last you a lifetime! Proud of y’all young leaders.

Experiencia hace un profesor,
Joel
