Day 6: Education

Como estan?, its Jennifer and Cynthy. Today’s leaders of the day!!!

Today we woke up at 7:00 am, It had been a really long day before and many of the glimpsers woke up tired and sick (side note to Teish’s mom she didn’t feel very well today ? and she said to comment more. It’d cheer her up !!!!) After that we headed to breakfast at Isabel’s it was a yummy meal filled with scrambled eggs, melon with bananas, and sausage links. ALSO, GUESS WHAT!!!! WE GOT TO DO LAUNDRY!!!! ?. When we finished with breakfast we did our mental warm-up and headed to Kuri Kiniti (stands for golden hummingbird). our journey there took a lot of energy since we had to hike all the way up to the top to the field filled with barley. We really enjoyed harvesting so much that many of us didn’t want to leave. We also got a chance to buy fresh honey from Santiago, who’s a beekeeper. They gave us a yummy snack as a reward for our hard work while harvesting, it included cheese, corn with pickled onions, and a yummy juice like tea.☕️ After we got back on the bus, had a quick snack, and headed to lunch. There we had another delicious meal. THANK YOU ISABEL!!?. Then from 3:00-5:00 pm, we started working on our CAP project where we got to meet some of the global glimpse staff, they took many videos and photos. After we finished that we headed to dinner. We had some chicken, rice, plantain chips, and a traditional Ecuadorian drink called colada morada. At 7:00 pm we visited Martiniano’s school. It was an amazing experience being able to talk to the students about their life and their education, once we were done with the formal introductions we played a quick game of soccer and had tons of fun! many of us made new friends and memories that we will take with us forever. During today’s nightly meeting, we passed the torch to our new leaders: Kai and Keilyn! We had tons of fun seeing their talents.

From Jennifer: Hola papi, como estas? I had lots of fun today and I got to yell at lots of people. miss you !! ❤️ see you soon.

From Cynthy: Hey guys, I miss you so much. I can’t wait to go back home. I love you all and I am also sending my love to Toki.❤️ Please leave comments!!!

Hi Teishani,
What a wonderful experience that you and your group are having. We’ve been enjoying the adventure through the pictures. Soak it all up. You’ll be tired when you get home but it will be all worth it. I hope that you’ll feel better soon (make sure that you’re eating :)). Daniel, Mayah, Shayna, and Yosef said their love.
Love you from Big Sis

Teishani, it’s Mom. Sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well. Hope you are feeling much better now. Drink plenty of water.
Remember, I am not home so it’s hard for me to comment some days.
I love you and miss you. Enjoy yourself.
