Hello, my name is Richard Sloop and I go to Impact Academy of Art and Technology in Hayward, California. I am excited to travel to Riobamba since it will be my first time out of the country. I became interested in the Global Glimpse program because I wanted to experience something new and different after a very routine few years during and after Covid. I believe that this trip will give me a better view of the world and humans’ impact, as I am really interested in environmental stability.
