Today was a great day. We started off the day by waking up at 7 am with the intentions of finishing the CAP project to make IPHE a better learning environment for the special needs students. It always brightens our day to see their smiles and talk to them while we work. We worked hard until 2 pm when we finally said goodbye to the school. All of the teachers and students were so appreciative of the work we did and it felt good to be able to help others. We then returned to the hotel and had some free time before our second to last English tutoring session. We had dinner and finally our nightly meeting where we played the infamous “ya-koom” game (basically a ruthless pillow fight in complete darkness). We have all become so close and are sad that the trip is almost over!
As today’s LDDs, we were inspired by the motivation, passion, and determination that we saw from our fellow Glimpsers. We got up early for the third day in a row and every single person put in immense effort to finish our CAP project. Everyone in the group has improved so much with regards to listening, paying attention, and respecting their leaders. We found our job as LDDs rather smooth and simple as everyone showed us great respect. Everyone woke up without any fuss and worked tirelessly for five hours until we all finished our designated projects. We are so sad that there are only a few days left on this trip, but we trust that these last few days will be just as amazing and inspiring as the rest of the trip has been.
Kate: Hi Mom, Dad, Reese, and the cats. I miss you guys but I am having so much fun and learning so much! I don’t want to leave but see you in a few days (Mom don’t forget to pick me up from the airport!). Hope you guys are having fun in Florida without me.
Jada: Hi Mom! I’m having such a great time and miss you so much. Thank you for giving me this opportunity! See you in a few days. Love Jay
PS. If you have a phone that can handle a Photo Sphere (or VR, fancy) you can view the classroom here.
What a wonderful note and congratulations on completing your CAP. So very proud of all of you and hope you enjoy this last weekend as a GG group! A special note to my daughter Kate: we are so proud of you and love you so very much. Can’t wait to hear all about your trip and don’t worry, there is no chance we will forget to pick you up at airport!! Having a fun time in FL but not the same without you. See you soon. Love, Mom and Dad
Wow! What an accomplishment for you all. I’m glad that everyone has enjoyed and learned a lot about the culture and the needs of Panama and its people. This experience will be with you for a life time.
It was wonderful hearing from you April and can’t wait to see you on Monday.
Enjoy the last few days !

Amazing Job
It looks so beautiful, I bet the children are going to really enjoy their newly painted School.
I ‘m very happy to hear that you are having fun and working hard at the same time.
What an amazing group of people you are. Instead of resting and enjoying the last days of summer you guys have decided to help those in need. And also to open your eyes to so many problems this world faces. It takes a strong individual to do what you guys are doing.
Immensely proud of all of you and specially of my first born daughter.
Chiarushhhh!!!!
