Appreciation comes from seeing what you have from another perspective. You either reflect on what you have currently or what you’ve always had. Today, we had the amazing opportunity of visiting Comunidad Isiqui which is a very humble and graceful community full of loving and accepting people. We got to spend the morning with a family there and walk a few steps in their lifestyle. It was an incredible opportunity which left us full of appreciation and clarity towards the things that we want and the things that we actually need to survive and eventually be happy. They are the vivid example of what humble means and happiness really is. Later on, we went more in depth with our CAP Project and from what i am seeing… it will be amazing because this group is full of passion and compassion as well as flexibility and determination. We prioritized our ideas for the project and got separated into groups based on our interest, skills and strengths. Also, we did a mini project about culture exchange, or at least tried to do something about it. Dinner came around and it was amazing as usual. We got ready HELLA fast because it was our first day as a “teacher”. Â English tutoring started at 6:oo pm and we all looked like hot teachers. Sadly, some of us didn’t get to teach anything because of a misunderstanding with the last delegation so most of the students thought class starts Wednesday. That leaves the nightly meeting which as usual is basically handing the Leader del Dia responsibilities to the next person and giving loving shout outs to each other for something we did throughout the day. To end this, we learned the meaning of humble today and got closer by the minute. Also, to all of you reading this, we have a family here we will never forget.
Dear Beth and Habtamu,
By the looks of these pictures it looks like the two of you are working hard and enjoying yourself. Over here at the Summer Search Seattle office we are thinking about you and cheering you on 🙂
Beth…you are incredible! Keep smiling, girl! We hope you can put some of your construction skills to work on your CAP project.
Habtamu… we love seeing this picture of you helping out the community. Keep up the good work!
Enjoy the rest of your trip and we’ll be thinking about the both of you.
Much love,
Regina & Colin (+Lidiya!)
Thank you so much to all GG leaders for taking a good care of Michelle for the last few days.<3.
So happy to see your smile when you're teaching the little kids. Take care. Love, Mom.
DAUGHTER we saw you washing and even though the photo didn’t appear that good. It gives me good that this trip would work in growing in your life. All the steps that you made have made us finish with day and day. Remember that we miss you and that we love you very much. Hope god takes care and protects you on this whole trip.
