After a long day of travel, we have arrived at our hostel in Quito. We have enjoyed getting to know each other by playing icebreaker games in the Houston airport and we look forward to spending the next two weeks together exploring and learning about this beautiful country. We’ve already had a chance to experience the hilly terrain and know that there is much more ahead as we make our way to Riobamba. Speaking of which, our wake up call is in a mere 5 hours so it’s time to get some rest!

Hi my Perlita bella! Hi everyone!
I am Perla Flores’ mom 🙂
As all of you, parents and friends, I’m very proud not only of my daughter’s participation in this program, but also of the whole group of fortunate students and organizers who are putting all their energy, enthusiasm and kindness into this adventure; Adventure full of generosity and appreciation for what life brings to their precious lives.
I’m pretty sure that this experience will plant the seed for many of the students to shape their future plans— being in the personal, spiritual and/or professional aspects of their lives.
Thanks to all the communities and their loving people who give their love and kindness to our kids; communities who leave a magic window open for our kids to explore, learn, help and have fun.
Special thanks to GLOBAL GLIMPSE, organizers, contributors and countries who host and provide our children with all the resources they need to have the best of their experiences.
Full of appreciation,
Gabriela Flores
…Perla! we all miss you!
I am so happy for you and all the experiences you are having. I’m sure you are putting all your love and dedication into all the activities you are participating in. I’m sure that part of your heart and soul will remain in Ecuador and some people’s hearts.
You’ll see that, as time goes by, the meaning of this trip and positive feelings about every aspect of it will take many forms;I bet, they will intensified. In the meantime, I will promise that I will put some of my personal savings aside for you, because I’m sure you will want to go back.
with infinite love,
Mommy!
