C: AY DIOS MIO! We can’t believe we only have four full days left on this trip 😓. Martha and I woke up today 6:00 to prepare for the 6:30 wake up call. Breakfast was at 7:00 and we had the Matagalpa Special- eggs and gallopinto 😁. The delegation left at 8:00 and took a private bus to Sor Maria. Today was CAP #2 and we have made much progress with our mural and concrete project, we even got help from some of the little kids on the community. Both teams worked in the sweltering sun to execute their projects and some Glimpsers even came home with sunburns! Ouchieeeee!! After arriving at the hostile at around 2:30 everyone had time to go out until 4:45.
M: On our second day working on the project, all the Glimpsers put much effort and worked more than we spected to. We had hamburgers as a recovery then also shared them with the kids that were helping us accomplish our project. When we got back to the hotel, some of us went out during our free time to buy ice cream and some snacks. At dinner, we had Alfredo pasta with fruit juice. Right after, we had a program seminar where we wrote letters to our donors thanking them for letting is have the opportunity to be here 😆. On our nightly meeting, we passed the torch to Bethany and Alexis who did the cup song for their talent.
Glad to read that everything is going well. Hope the ones that aren’t feeling so well will recover soon. What an eyeopening and enriching experience this is for all involved! Thank you all for sharing.
Bethany – Good to see you in some of the pictures! So proud of you and everyone that made the commitment to do this! Miss you and enjoy the rest of the trip!
Looks like a lot of hard work is going on over there and a lot of love and smiles being poured into it – beautiful stuff you guys! Your work does and is going to mean so much to this community. Hope everyone who is not feeling well gets better soon. I am worried that so many people seem to be down for the count. Get well you guys! Kieran, I don’t see you in these pictures so I really hope you are okay. Sending you so much love and get well vibes from home so that you can finish strong – Mom, Dad, Previn & Nikhil PS: Will root for the Dubs extra hard for you – game 7 is tonight (Sunday)
That mural is looking awesome!! Is there a particular reason behind painting the tree? Haha, the kids look so eager to help out too! They probably think of it more as fun than work 😀
Ice cream will always be my favorite remedy for everything (sunburns included)!
Your donors are extremely generous, and I bet they love hearing what a difference you’re making with their support.
The cup song…like Anna Kendrick? Haha I love her!
What a phenomenal project! So proud of all of you! Your hard work and efforts will pay off with a beautiful gift for the community there. So proud of your dedication to this project and I am sure you will all have memories that will last a lifetime.
Can’t wait to see you, Ryan! I am sure you are so tan and your hair must be so long by now! 🙂
Love you and so proud of you.
Mom
