Today was “Living Like a Local Day” in our Global Glimpse adventures. Starting last night, our water was cut off and we were handed a water bucket that would be used to take showers, flush the toilet, and wash our hands. Also, we had no electricity, so we used flashlights. We enjoyed a typical, rural Dominican breakfast of bread and hot chocolate. We traveled to the impoverished community of Rio Grande where we were welcomed by host families, and we participated in their day-to-day chores to better understand the challenges they endure everyday. Afterwards, the Rio Grande community and the Glimpsers joined together for lunch that was prepared by a few community members and students. We bonded with the Dominican kids who played games with us and told us about themselves. We gave a sad farewell to the community and traveled back to Constanza to explore more of the city. Then we came back to the hotel for dinner and our daily nightly meetings.
Hi Aniya glad to see you smiling. Well I let your bunny out the cage and he decided to run away from me. He ran under the couch every time I tried to put him back in his cage took me over an hour to get him back in. Elliot is bad

Hi Aaren! Hope it is going well. I’m sure it is challenging and enlightening to find out how the people there live. I wonder what the people think about all of you? Are you using your Spanish? I know people really appreciate when you try to speak to them no matter how good you are at the language.
