Dear parents and special loved ones
We as a collective had our protective chains unleashed, and placed into the wild. Today we had a “Free Day” again, and this is where all that spending money you gave us went. Whether on matching pants, special necklaces or other accessories, secret Santa gifts, food, and junk food (we love ice cream), we appreciate what you guys gave us. As you guys know we’ve humbled ourselves working (hard work) on a farm, and with young kids who have to provide for their family. So on behalf of the 22 global glimpse kids we appreciate what all of you do to make ends meet for us.
Here’s some fun highlights of our day
- The Boys got haircuts (There is a special surprise)
- Last Night we had Karaoke Night (everyone screamed their lungs out TERRIBLY)
- Most of the group brought matching pants
However, we all had to still teach English to our classes. As a whole we honestly do a great job teaching. Our students are attentive (most of the time), and truly wants to learn the English language. I am impressed and pleased to even be able to contribute to helping others break down language barriers. I wish the best of hopes to the next delegation to continue our classes better than we already do.

I also want to say it is literally amazing how well our entire group gets along, Many people that’s from one geographical location, yet are different in so many ways, somehow manage to gets along as if we knew each other for years. You guys all have raised amazing kids and I am proud to know them.
BIG LOVE (Global Glimpse Inside Joke XD) to Tyese and Tamia, I truly love, appreciate, and miss you guys.
I am amazed how much everyone has accomplished in such a short time. Everyone’s enthusiasm has been so inspirational. The bond that everyone is making not only with GG but with the community is making the world a better place. Happy to know that what you are all doing is making a difference.
Love Nana
I’m happy you all had a fun free day! I’m curious who got the haircuts… also I am so wanting to redeem myself and be there to pick up the phone if my son gets another opportunity to call 🙂
Okay, this blog did bring tears. As happy as I am to hear everyone has gotten along it’s not easy to know that it’s coming to an end ( I really miss my daughter) I can only hope friendship will come about and stick throughout this journey of life.
It’s so great to know you all get along so well and are making the most out of this amazing trip. These are memories you will all cherish for life and experiences that will stick with you. Can’t wait to see what else you all accomplish this last week!
Fun!! Can’t wait to hear more and we certainly agree that you deserved a day of fun!!
Ooops … hit submit too soon!
Jalen … I love your observation about the differences in the glimpser backgrounds and your ability to become a very cohesive group. Something I didn’t fully understand about the GG program until you guys embarked on the trip … what a great experience to not just travel to witness/experience a new culture, but to travel together WITH folks of various backgrounds. Learning to live and lead jointly as a group with different cultures, different perspectives, etc. … that’s very different from a homogenous group learning about a different culture. What a blessing!
What a great experience and so much fun it looks. Proud of you all.
All I can say is how impressed I am by the entire group. Great job all of you and please always remember this amazing journey as I am sure you will, opportunities like this are rare unless you make them happen through your actions each one of you impressed someone else and that is why your on this amazing trip… ENJOY !!!!
Proud of all of You 😊 🇪🇨/🇺🇸
Great hearing from you Zach! Love that all of you are getting along so well & really bonding. You will have these memories together forever! Would love to see a photo of everyone in their matching pants – great idea! And, also a picture of the boys’ haircuts! So glad you’re loving teaching, keep up the great work! Miss you Zach!
