We would just like to let you know that we are thoroughly enjoying each and every glimpser. Each child brings a unique dynamic to the group. We have all become very close with each other and the glimpsers are having great fun together when they have free time. Every day a few more students start coming out of their comfort zone. It is so heartwarming to watch this transition. Although seeing the realities of a third world country can be intensely emotional, we all hold each other up and have each others’ back.
We would like to ask each of you to reach out to those parents who may be having difficulty connecting to the blog. Also, we are having internet problems due to power outages which are common here. We are able to post blogs, but we are having difficulty loading pictures. We have so many to share. Students tried calling home today, but some students had difficulty connecting or no-one was home. Students will have time next Friday to call home at approximately 1:00-3:30 Nicaragua time if there is no power outage.
Lastly, we would like to thank you all for allowing your children to travel with us. We love them dearly and so enjoy their energy, loving demeanor, and hilarious interactions. They really keep us going. Until our next post…..
Hasta luego
Terri and Jean-Claude
Thank you for this update….I will be sure to sit with my phone on Friday awaiting another call….I was heartbroken when I missed the call of today….I have spent years encouraging Holly to follow her dreams BUT….Never thought it would be this difficult to let her spread her wings and fly. Comfort has been in knowing she is under the wings of Ms. Dodge as well as with other students watching out for one another. Thank you to all who have made this a trip a reality! Also I had the right connection to the blog and not sure why I thought I missing something….Brain cramp coupled with high anticipation is my only excuse!
Sincerely,
Faye Walker
Thanks for the update and taking great care of our childten both physically and emotionally.
Thank you for taking such good care of our children! I’m so glad they’re having an amazing time!
Such a wonderful group of students would not be complete without such thoughtful leaders. Thank you for taking the time to write this post, JC & Terri! I’m so happy to hear that everyone is having a good time and learning a lot from their surroundings and each other.
Big love!!

I am enjoying reading all of the teams blogs describing your experiences in Nicaragua. Each day seems filled with so many teachable moments for all.
