The first day of our CAP project was very busy in the morning. The Glimpsers split into two groups: one that tried to create relationships with local grocery stores and clothing stores to get donations for our CAP partner, while the others tended to the transportation of the bikes. At first everyone seemed prepared to fix the bikes by themselves, but once the other local students came the Glimpsers took that help and used it to move the bikes and figure out what was wrong with them. Despite the fact that some people didn’t know how to fix bikes they still tried to contribute to the effort and kept trying. They were so focused and determined to get the job done that in the end they were able to ride some of the bikes and have fun.
The first day of CAP work went great for both the bikes and store groups. It was amazing seeing how not one person turned us down at the stores. Everyone received us with a friendly smile even if they were not the business owners. Everyone listened to us so attentively and were really appreciative about the fact that we are trying to help their community.
Jasmine: As a leader I learned that you have to raise your voice to be heard and you must communicate with others to get things done quickly and efficiently. I felt accomplished because I was engaged in the most activities possible.
Ayanna: As a leader I learned that you unfortunately cannot be everyone’s friend and you have to be strict to get things done. In addition, it’s okay to be loud to get everyone’s attention.
It’s A Great Experience To Learn What It Takes To Be A Leader. Sometimes It’s Never Easy. Patience And A Positive Attitude Can Go A Long Way. We Are Very Proud Of Your Achievements. Working Together To Achieve A Common Goal Can Be A Rewarding Experience.
Love Mom & Dad
Good morning, Glimpsers!!!! So proud to see you staying the course, even as program winds down…don’t grow weary yet. Hugs to all and best wishes for a safe return home.
I’m impressed with the bicycle project. I hope it catches on and that the community continues to support it even after you return home
Looking forward to seeing you face to face and learning more about your experience. I certainly have been changed – even from way across the sea – by your blogs and photos and your tenacity.
Safe travels!
Glimpsers, it has been a pleasure and privilege to follow your daily adventures. Wonderful job by all. Junior, I can’t wait to see you. Dad
Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love you Mom!
Hi Glimpsers!
You all have been going strong for over two weeks now. You have to be a bit tired.
All of you have learned so much from your turns as Lider Del Dia.
It can get a bit tricky at times. However, each of you have learned what you needed to do to refocus and stay on task to meet your goals.
Great job, ladies!
SMART GOAL guys?
