Day 1. Arrival in Panama – The Journey Starts Here

Dear Families & Friends,

We’re happy to share that all students and chaperones have arrived safe and sound in Panama!

Tonight, we’re staying at Hotel Ojos del Río in Panama City. Tomorrow, we’ll kick off our adventure with a visit to the Panama Canal before heading to our host community in Las Tablas.

Throughout the trip, you’ll receive updates right here on the blog from our Leaders of the Day. Feel free to leave messages in the comments — we love seeing your support and encouragement!

We’re so excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to share this journey with you.

Warmly,
Heyling & Paco

This is an amazing initiative and exposure opportunity. I’m happy for the youths and their chaperones. May God’s hand of protection be ever present in all your activities.
