Today was the second and last day of our CAP project at the institution of Carlos Garbay.
We started this wonderfully exciting day with one of Mama Isabella’s delicious meals. This one consisted of chocolate milk, almond milk, home made fluffy bead, cut up fruit, and little potatoes. We made and extra effort to eat up and gain strength for the full day ahead.
Afterward we transported to Carlos Garbay and were hard at work for nearly 5 and a half hours (we worked a little more than we expected). In the end, this paid off beautifully as we were able to finish painting the interior of a bodega, the surrounding immediate walls of the farm, a pathway of snowy white rocks, and chairs, as well as were able to construct new tables and fund the building of new gazebo and guinea pig roofs. Our efforts were greatly rewarded when we received thank you cards from the local students who attend the school. Despite a first day with a few complications between team members and various shortages of supplies, we were able to cleanly pull through and achieve the final outcome we were hoping for 1 day early. We truly owe our success to our Global Glimpse Leaders for their guidance and care, our trip coordinators for their patience and understanding, as well as Aleksys, our wonderful budgeting manager, Nestor, our construction and moral leader, and Jackson, our painting executive. We would not have accomplished nearly as much as we did without them.
After regrouping over a yummy lunch of chicken and rice as well as a potato soup and cucumber salad, we were able to wash off all the paint from our tedious work day and headed off to our forth English tutoring lesson over at El Nazareno. Here, we recounted previous lessons and had tons of fun playing various games with our children. We’ve all become mothers and fathers as well as teachers and tutors over these days.
Next, we dined over at Roma Santa and had a hefty course of spaghetti as well as a side of zucchini and carrot salad.
Tonight, we finish up this post as a last taste of being the Leaders of the Day and pass off the torch to Allison and Angela who we are sure will be fantastic role models and guiding figures.
Goodnight GG family and friends,
Perla and Jialin
The descriptions of your days are fantastic. Can almost taste the food and feel the love…
Keep up the great work people…
I hope you all got some paint on the walls too…
Jackson, call your father, when you have time.
Dad loves you son
Howdy Glimpsers,
you had quite a day, very productive.
you should be proud of the work you’ve done, the contribution your making, the change you are affecting . Give yourselves a pat on the back. Yay, high five, 2 thumbs up!!!
I wonder if my Riss will be so jazzed about painting, she’ll help me paint the back yard deck. Your old mom would sure appreciate the company!
A taste of Italy for you today, spaghetti – Spero che la vostra cena di spaghetti era deliziosa!
Miss you Riss.
Big love and hugs waiting for you at home.
You have lots of stories to share with us when you get home.

Hey Ness! Your guys CAP project sounds amazing! Dude your mom called you out in the last blog comment HAHA I found out that I ran over a nail before I left to Riobamba and got a flat tire when I left, so I guess I won that bet for who would get a flat tire first. I always thought it would be Jessica. We’re all doing well and we miss you so much ? I got boba today but nobody makes it better than you, so get back here soon!! Why can’t pirates say the alphabet? Because they get lost at C!
I forgot to mention the chocolate milk on the menu today. My daughter lives for the stuff. As far as you travel from home, chocolate milk follows you. There is some esoteric, hidden message in there somewhere!!
I’ll will interpret it to mean: where you go, love follows.
Ti amo bella.
