hey everyone, it’s panama arrival day!

This is Luzania and Ariel again, checking in from Panama City!

Today is the day…

This adventure has finally begun. We went to the airport to pick our Glimpsers up, however the flight was delayed; they arrived an hour later than planned, and they were also tired from the long trip, but once they got here, they were great to work with, they were excited to finally arrive and were looking forward to tomorrow’s activities. We hope their stay in Panama is very educational and inspiring!

A shoutout to our two GG Leaders and heroes, Ian and Jennifer! Your leadership and understanding of this program is truly inspiring. Your initiative and willingness are part of what makes this program work so well. We couldn’t have navigated today without you.

We got here to Hotel Ojos del Rio after a short trip from the airport, where we were finally able to check into the hotel. We enjoyed a relaxing dinner and had the chance to get to know each other through some bonding and fun activities.

We had some time left to present next day’s agenda, to start off this great program.

And then, it was lights out, because we have a day full of adventures ahead of us and we need to be well-rested!

Stay tuned for our blogs and everything we’ll be sharing along the way. Starting tomorrow, the GG Leaders and Glimpsers will be taking over the blog and share with us their insights, highlights, and overall enjoyment. Be ready for everyone’s turn!
