A New Journey: Sean Michael Rivas
Student Trip Blog
Welcome back guys, it’s Peyton and C’Maria! Everyone woke up, tired today, but luckily, the breakfast energized everyone. We first transported to the CAP site where the house is. We got straight to work, creating a human chain to move all of the supplies such as buckets and dirt up the very steep hill.
Eventually, everything and everyone (with a couple slips) made it up.
Then, we headed back to our hotel for lunch. Everyone was worn out but still enjoyed the meatballs, corn arepitas, potatoes, and corn rice. After that, we went back to the site to work on the roof of the house.
We were definitely more tired than in the morning, but the playlist that everyone collaborated on hyped us up.
We finished working pretty quickly and transported back to shower and get ready for dinner.
Afterwards, we held a meeting to write letters of appreciation to our GG supporters who help this trip happen.
It was a very fun day, but we would say that time management was our biggest struggle: for me (Peyton) keeping track of time and for C’Maria, commanding the other Glimpsers to stay on time. But overall, we believe we made a lot of progress today, both on the house and getting other people to cooperate.
