Today Alex Roberson was leader of the day and it was our first free day,
Today we learned about what it means to be responsible and how our actions can affect ones around us. I can say the group had a lot to contribute to the discussion about things we can all work on. One student mentioned that we are a confident group which can make it hard to branch out and talk to more people – I don’t disagree with that but I do believe that everyone has something to contribute to the group. The quote of the day was “know yourself, know your worth” which literally means that everyone has something to offer. What surprised me the most was the encouragement that I received from the group, which really did mean a lot to me. Although being a leader looks easy, I can truly say that’s its not easy. I learned that part of being a leader is putting others needs before your own and setting the tone.
We also had a fun day in the morning as a group playing a very hot game of soccer in the park. One of our group members even invited a local younger boy named Justin to join us, which turned out to be really fun. For the second half of the day we broke off into smaller groups to explore and get to know the city which was lots of fun. My group stayed in one of the stores for about 45 minutes buying jewelry and watches. Overall, I would say it was a good day for Global Glimpse.

Awesome! Jared I see it looks like you had everyone playing soccer. I bet it was you that called out justin to play. I remember you saying that you had to have a game of soccer with the kids of the community. Iam happy that you accomplished your goal. Continue having fun and learning about how you can help others.
Thanks for all the comments fam! We read them everyday and it’s a big highlight for the students! Keep sending the love.
This looked like a really fun day. I’m so happy to see the kids branching out and trying things they wouldn’t ordinarily do at home.
This sounds like you are having an incredible experience. Good job as group leader, Alex!
Miss you!

Alex, I am so proud of you. I love the photo of your group. I believe that was a look of joy on your face.
Wow, looks and sounds like a great way to expand your horizons! Loved “hearing” your voice in this post, Alex!
You’re almost one week in. Brings back memories of being in Ecuador. Are you noticing how much music is playing where ever you go? Pippa, Max, and Tillie are lonesome, but hangin’ in. Love you. John
Glad to see you having so much fun Rowan, what a great group!
