DAY 1 – Arrival!!

Hello everyone!

We are the program coordinators for CH2A, and we’re excited to share that our Glimpsers have arrived safely and in great spirits here in Panama! After a smooth journey, everyone is settling in well.

This evening, we enjoyed a delicious and nutritious meal together, which gave everyone a chance to recharge and connect. Right now, the Glimpsers are resting in their rooms after a long, full day of travel and orientation activities. Despite the long day, their energy and enthusiasm are already shining through—we’re looking forward to the incredible experiences ahead!

We’re happy to share a photo so you can catch a glimpse of how they’re doing. Be sure to stay tuned—tomorrow we’ll have more updates on their first full day of activities and all the exciting things they’ll be learning and experiencing.

Warm regards,
The CH2A Program Coordinators

Hi!! So glad you have all made it! Everyone looks like they’re having a great time chilling out already. Shout out to Ash! Its so weird that you’re not here! We can’t wait to hear all of the neat things you get to do and see while you’re there. I hope everyone has such an amazing adventure. (also – the fish really miss you Ash – I am terrible at feeding them on time! Yikes!)
