(Me in Vancouver, Canada)

Hola, Glimpsers!  This post is coming to you from 1 of your 2 GG Leaders that will be with the Matagalpa 1 Delegation!  My name is Matthew Ledesma, and I am excited to be able to lead my third group of Global Glimpse students.  I was born in Manila, Philippines and grew up in Turlock, CA.  I completed my undergraduate college education at UC San Diego, which was followed by completing my masters degree in counseling at San Francisco State University.  I am currently a counselor at South San Francisco High School, where I have been for the past 6 years.  I have previously lead Global Glimpse groups to Esteli, Nicaragua, and San Juan de Maguana, Dominican Republic.  I love to travel, run, and read.  I also consider myself a big hip-hop aficianado/nerd.

On a separate note, please check your emails.  Noel Corea (my co-GG Leader) and I have been sending messages and making phone calls to the students.

I look forward to seeing all of the students at SFO in just a few days.
