Hola! It’s Ignacio 🙂
Today was our final full day in Jarabacoa and tomorrow morning we go back home. We started off the day by having a nice breakfast consisting of pancakes and eggs. After breakfast we had a 3 hour seminar where we reflected on the days we were here. During this seminar we played a game were we got to pick people who made a great impact during our stay. Then we talked about all the things that we will start, stop and continue doing in our daily lives.
After this, we did Big Love in a different way were we had to write a short note to each person telling them how much they meant to us. Lastly, we held a student open mic, were we expressed our feelings throughout the program and the conclusion of it.
After the seminar, we had 30 minutes of quiet time, then lunch. Afterwards we had 4 hours of free/ explore time, students had the option to stay at the hostel and call home or go to the city. We then had to freshen up to go back to the city and have one final goodbye dinner with all the ambassadors, leaders, and PC’s. It was a very emotional later towards the end of dinner because we had to say goodbye to the ambassadors whom we got so close to. We took pictures, laughed, cried, overall it was such a bittersweet moment. We then took a bus back to the hostel where we ended up having one last karaoke session. Once it was over, it was time for the students to get ready for their last night at the hostel because tomorrow we are heading back home.
Adios, we almost home!!!
P.S. – Hi mum, i’m still alive. I’ll see you soon and I love you. <3

Wonderful job, Glimpsers ❤️ Safe travels home!
Wow a little over 2 weeks flew by fast. And during these times you’ve done amazing and I’m sure the impact of this experience will definitely leave a big mark on you and the community you’ve helped. You are all awesome. Have a safe flight glimpsers.
P.S. It was a pleasant surprise to receive an unexpected phone call from Jealizza. Can’t wait to see you ate.
Thank you Tony and Allen for accompanying our young adults on this adventure.
Thank you for having the caring passion, and for giving your time to these student so that they could have these new experiences. I’m sure you are awesome in your day job!
It was hard letting them go, but they are already at the age that many will soon leave us to go to college or other life experiences. This was just a tester period for when that time comes and we really need to “let them go”.
With Gratitude,
Elidia & William Santos
