Hey guys! Our names are Favian and Marshatta. Today we were able to be Los Lideres Del Dia for the very first Fun Day on this trip. We woke up at 7 am sharp and ate breakfast at 8 like we usually do. But the real fun thing was riding on a truck through the beautiful neighborhoods of Constanza to a hiking trail that leads to a monument known as “El Divino Nino”. Throughout the hiking session we faced many challenges hiking up the trail. Some people pushed through while others tried their best, but rode in the truck due to them getting tired and not managing to push through. When finally we managed to reach the peak, we were greeted to the breathtaking site of “El Divino Nino”. Right away, everyone was amazed by the overview of the monument that was surrounded by the city of Constanza. Everyone took photos with each other in front of the view, it quickly became a heartfelt bonding experience for us all. We were lucky enough to meet the creator of the monument himself and listen to his intriguing stories about why he created the “El Nino”. After the unique visit, we hiked back down the mountain. Later that day, we drove to a hotel called “Alto Cerro”. At “Alto Cerro” we all engaged in fun outdoor activities such as soccer, playing on a playground, playing volleyball, playing pool and overall just hanging around with each other.
We learned a lot about ourselves and each other because it was a day that didn’t have a strict schedule so we were able to relax outside in the sun and open up to each other. Many people mentioned that it was surprising how joyful the day was even though we did so many activities that got us moving. As for being the Leader of The Day it was interesting to find out who we are as leaders. Both Marshatta and I learned how to balance our skills with each other.

So glad you all had an enjoyable “Fun Day”, & that you are having moments to bond in this beautiful place, the D.R. Thank you for sharing, & supporting each other through any challenges (“big”/”small”).
Marielle, I hope you put that camera to use! That hike sounds amazing. I wonder if you pushed through or rode in the truck? Pretty sure you pushed through :p
I’m here with the family celebrating Ninang Anna’s birthday, and so are you (via cardboard face cutout). We’ll tag you in all photos. Love ya!
Hi Cassandra!
I wouldn’t be surprised if you were one of those hikers who needed a ride on the truck. Hope your back is holding up ok. Seems fun day still incorporated some learning. Love it!
Time sure is flying by. Make the days count.
Miss you much our favorite child!
Ofa lahi atu,
Mom and Dad
Hello Glimpsers,
Its so good to hear that you all are having a good time and had time to bond with one another. I must say this is a great program that Global Glimpse has because it has pulled my daughter MarShatta out of her shell (comfort zone)and made her face challenges that she would second guess back at home. I love you Shatta and enjoy the rest of your time!
