Hello Global Glimpsers and families! My name is Anette Norona and I am one of your Global Glimpse Leaders. I am so excited to meet all of you and am looking forward to getting to know you and see you grow for the next two weeks.

This will be my first Global Glimpse trip and my first time in Nicaragua as well. I have traveled extensively and have also called many places home – the Middle East, Philippines, Los Angeles, and now the Bay Area. I love traveling as I see the world as a classroom – a place to challenge and also nurture me. I taught in SF  and now I teach Social Studies at Overfelt High School in San Jose and I can not wait to bring back what I learned from our trip and from you all and share it with my students. I have also immersed myself in social justice work and think that traveling and understanding peoples’ stories from around the world teaches us to become more humble, responsible, and compassionate global citizens.

If you and your families have any questions, please feel free to contact me and/or my lovely co-leader Silvia. I will see you all soon!

Much love,
Anette
