Day 10 – Final Reflection
Student Trip Blog
Hola Hola to all our families and friends reading this. This is Adriel, Christopher, and Octavio (the new 17 year old).
Today we had wake up call at 6:30 AM for an early breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes and strawberry juice; jugo de fresa, to give us some energy to power through the day.
We got to the school where we worked like a well oiled machine to complete all of our murals.
Not only was it a teary eyed goodbye to the school Felicia Castillero de Moricillo and the wonderful staff and students but also a farewell filled with certificates, speeches, brindis, and dancing.
We got back to the hotel just in time for lunch at 12:00 PM, which was rice and chicken and a side salad.
After that delicious meal we had a self reflection based on the CAP project where we explored how it changed us, how we think it impacted the school, what we learned about ourselves and our teams from it.
We then took a short walk out of the hotel to a dance studio run by the amazing Antonio. We then spent the next hour learning salsa and bachata dances, ending the class with a couple of us doing free style dances.
When we returned to the hotel, we got an hour of free time, which many of us took advantage of and explored Chitré one last time.
After decompressing and washing up we made our preparations for a dinner outside the hotel. We made a 5 minute walk to resturante El Azteca. Some of us enjoyed beef or chicken tacos and others enjoyed a plate of chicken nachos. Every flavor was very unique.
Once Dinner ended we made it back to the hotel and held our final nightly meeting in Chitré. The rising leadres del dia were Joselyn and Violeta who shared a talent of bracelet making using a water bottle! Everyone was invested and excited to partake in their talent.
Don’t forget to leave comments for our second to last blog post of this trip! Thank you to those who have been leaving comments 🙂
P.S HI mother and Father. I am alive. 😀 But you didn’t write any comments. D: But love you both and see you soon! – Christopher

I love the artwork and I am sure it will benefit many students for years to come. That truly makes it a meaningful gift. I am so proud of the global glimpse program. Everyone seems completely engaged in helping and you all got to display your unique talents.
Xavia, I definitely want some salsa and bachata lessons when you return. We will also make sure we have a plate of arroz con pollo waiting for you when you return(lol). Have fun on your last day and we wish everyone safe travels. We really miss You, but these type of trips create lifetime memories.
God Bless You All!
With Love,
Dad and Mom

Wow, Madeline you had a packed day! I love that you guys painted the maps , flag and icecream cone. “Les quedó hermoso todo” Ending the day with tacos sounds like the perfect reward for your hard work. You are doing amazing things out there and what you have been experiencing so far is something you should cherish and take it as a life lesson.
“Special Thanks to Danielle, Bryan and Heyling for thanking care of all the Students.”
I love you Maddy and I see you pronto

Hi My Beautiful Granddaughter Sani.
The team did an awesome job showing off their artistic skills. I know your favorite, coffee, ice cream was on the cone.😊
The time in Panama was well spent and the work performed will have a lasting impression on the community. Every contribution made helped the city be a better place.
I can see your growth and continue to be the change agent that you were born to be. Shout out to the leaders who kept everyone safe. I am thankful that you had responsible leaders that invest lots of love and time with the group.
Love and miss talking to you mama.
There is no place like home!!! It’s that time. Praying everyone safe return.
