Hello family and friends and others. My name is Dorothy Nguyen, I go to Andrew P. Hill HS in San Jose (CA, not Costa Rica) and am today’s lider del dia! Today was fantastic and very productive. We had less setbacks and better judgement than yesterday so we were able to accomplish a lot on our second CAP day. At 7 AM Glimpsers were awoken by the call of the bird whistle of the leader del dia. Most wake up calls were given to each Glimpser personally by their bedsides (only with our girls of course), with some being more intimate inside the mosquito net (only with permission of course).
We went to La Favorita for breakfast and had a slurpy, lengthy Watermelon icebreaker before leaving to the hardware store and Las Prusias for CAP. On the bus we continued Hot Seat interrogations. We got our boards and roofing materials at the store. Even though it was hot as noodles we still were able to finish the bathroom roof, sand and paint all the boards blue, make and paint additional modified desks for extra benches, and split the old swing sets to fix the water tank. This progress would be impossible if it weren’t for the invaluable help of community members who came out to share their expertise. We had a great time with them, notably Francisco, a friendly 7-year-old boy who worked with us most of the day. We had lunch all together in a big circle of cute little kindergarten chairs. Only one more day until we finish the CAP project!
The group then left for tutoring which was particularly interesting. Justin Bieber had the power to bring classes together and some saw a cat catch a bird. For dinner we had quesillos (soft tacos with cheese, sour cream and onions) and concluded our busy day with a nightly meeting.
Francisco looks like a happy and helpful boy enjoying his time with all of you Glimpsers.
Ok, who got the award for wearing the most blue paint at the end of the day?
Hey Dorothy!!
I kept smiling when reading your post. You have great sense of humor!
Thank you for those beautiful pictures. You all looked like the pro, and you worked so hard. The little helper Francisco is so cute.
I forgot to ask did you have a chance to practice your Spanish? How was it?
Kudos to all of you. You did a great job for the community!
Hope you will complete the CAP project successfully tomorrow.
Good night!
Luu…v!

So glad today went much better! Did the swing sets get moved too? Watermelon ice breakers sound wonderfully refreshing. Hannah, I see you are putting those rain boots to good use, I bet they are terribly hot. Can’t wait to see you and hear all about your trip Saturday night/Sunday morning.Bubbles had his teeth done today, they all miss you.
Love you
What a wonderful day, and a wonderful CAP! Congratulations
Glimpsers for a job well done!
What an interesting day. It appears to be unifying experience where the group and the community worked together to accomplish the goals. With a cheerful guy like Francisco there I feel like there was no way to fail. Also I was worried about those swing sets glad they got taken care of.
Observing also the circle of life in nature, a cat catching a bird. I think all things considered you all should feel proud of yourselves for helping others. Lots of love from the PNW.
Gwen(Jamie’s mom),hello all..great job thank you for sharing..luvu Jamie..
