We began the day with a reflection about our fifteen-day trip together. The first minutes in the Quito airport filled with fear, curiosity, and excitement. Their first impression of Guaranda. The nature walk in Tagma San Jose and the humility of Carlos. Making adobe blocks. The challenge of snow capped Chimborazo. The inspiring chat with Padre Antonio Polo in Salinas. And how all of these activities helped us grow and learn together.
Our bus ride to Quito went out as planned and everyone arrived at the airport in good spirits. Then came the most difficult part, saying Kayakama (See you later) to our wonderful Glimpsers and GGLeaders. Big hugs and many photos.
To our Glimpsers of GU2B: we are so proud of you all and honored to have met each and every one of you. We are already missing you guys here in Ecuador, but we know you are leaving to go make the world a better, more just place. Keep in touch and remember every moment of this experience.
Thank you. Stephanie and Camilo you have given so much of yourselves and so much to our children. I appreciate what you are both doing. If we can change the world, let us do it through our children; they are are not yet angry, they are not yet fearful, they are not yet jaded. Here, we can make an actual difference. Thank you to Global Glimpse.
Although I’m sure the kids are sad to leave, they are leaving changed teenagers who will see the world differently because of what you leaders have shown them and they have learned. But,as a parent I say, thankyou for taking care of our children , but we can’t wait to have them back and hear it all.
Thank you so much Stephanie & Camilo! This has been an amazing experience for my daughter and I! I cannot imagine anything less for the other families involved! We truly appreciate the time and effort you have devoted to the children of Global Glimpse! Your kindness and compassion will live long in the hearts of our children! Thank you!!
