Bienvenidos to the GG NYC Riobamba, Ecuador blog. My name is Patrick and I am one of the GG Leaders. I am a teacher as well as an Enrichment Program and STEM Program Director at Bronx Center for Science and Mathematics (BCSM). I teach environmental science and love getting out into nature with my classes and on my own. When I’m not teaching or involved in education related activities, I enjoy hiking, reading, and writing stories. Coffee and baseball are also big parts of my life. On a lazy afternoon, a good day looks like me kicking back on a nice sofa with a cup off coffee, checking out a ball game. Travel is a passion and when I retire some day, I plan on getting away from it all. Thus far, I have been to 46 of the 50 United States. I’ve spent a lot of time in Central America (including Nicaragua last summer with GG) and Western Europe. I became a GG Leader last year and decided to continue as one this year to travel more and see the world with my incredible BCSM Scholars. We plan to take Riobamba by storm starting on July 26th! Hasta luego.

Thanks so much, Skarleth. We can’t wait to meet Hector and Fernanda in Ecuador! Hope all is well with you.
Good to see my brother is in good hands. How do I stay updated with the trip and see the photos that are being posted?
