Hi family and friends,
It’s your leaders of the day, Adrian and Njata. Today was Free Day number 2!!! We woke up at 8, ate breakfast at 9 then had free time from 10 to 12. Many of the boys decided to treat themselves to a haircut from the local barber that works directly across the street from the orphanage. Everyone returned to the orphanage and enjoyed a wonderful meal made by Licelot, the Global Glimpse cook. Then we had explore time again, but this time we had our Youth Ambassadors, making it a special experience for all the glimpsers.
Returning to the orphanage at 3:30, we started to prep for our English Tutoring with the Youth Ambassadors. This is a key part of being proficient teachers and having a lesson ready to go as soon as class begins. Then everyone started their English Tutoring, which lasted for 2 hours. Dinner followed at 7. After dinner, everyone gathered for the nightly meeting and reflected on their day speaking on the amazing experience of being able to explore the city of Bonao with their companions.
We felt that today was a very impactful experience in helping us understand the city of Bonao. We were able to explore the city both with and without Youth Ambassadors, giving us freedom to do what we wanted.
Shout out to my man Henry and the rest of the Youth Ambassadors for being awesome people. They are really cool and amazing people.
Great. Thank you for the report. Glad you all had a free day to relax a little bit and enjoy the time. Dear Rohini, it was so good to hear your voice and can’t wait to see you on Wednesday! Please take care of yourself and let your coordinators know if you need any help. I just can’t wait for you come home. Love you so much❤…Naanna, Amma, and Annayya
You guys are amazing! So proud! Love and miss you Adrian!
Mom, Sis, Jordan and Marcellus
HELLO! to the GG family,
I am literally grinning from ear to ear reading about your day — filled with exploring and planning and tutoring and even hair cuts (did any of the boys come back with a different hair style?)
Shout out to your awesome ambassadors as well as your incredible cook, Licelot, for taking care of and feeding all you Glimpsers!!
Hailey — I couldn’t find Chloe today and finally tracked her down hiding in the dark in the bedroom closet shaking like a leaf. I didn’t know what the heck was going on until a fly buzzed by her and she flattened herself to the floor like it was a pterodactyl swooping over her head trying to take her away. At first I was thinking “seriously?” And you know how I feel about flies — argh!!! The fly got in at the end of our walk when she didn’t want to come inside and the door was open for a while — I think she was holding out in hopes you would come driving up (she misses her Hai-Hai). But the fly truly was the problem. As soon as I ushered it outside and comforted Baby, she was back to normal. Ay caramba! She’s such a delicate flower!!
I also ran into E. Shroe at Red Hill yesterday. He has some interviews and also has an offer, so it looks good on the work front. Hooray!
Also, LOVE the pic of you and your buddies out on the town!
Big LOVE and HUGS to ALL!!!
I was hoping to get a phone call from you, Rhay. I’m sure you’re having fun and I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I miss you like crazy! Take care of yourself and make great memories.
