Thai school ceremony
Last Friday I was invited to a special ceremony at the school where the REACH team has been teaching English. The students and teachers wanted to thank them and another short-term group for their service over the past number of months. We were all given matching shirts to wear - something that's typical of these kinds of events. It was fun to see the Thai dancing and I was glad to hear how much this team was appreciated by the school. This was where they spent most of their time and their dedication paid off in new relationships and a meaningful contribution to the students.
Here are a few pictures...
The team with the Thai dancers.
The school gave all of us a flower garland and a framed Thai decoration.
Some of the 8th and 9th graders performed a Thai masked play.
I'm pretty sure that I'll never wear a pinker shirt!
And finally, a shot of Nong Si playing with the garland and showing off his new top tooth.
