Wai Kru Day


Wai Kru Flowers, originally uploaded by AnnaRae.

Last Thursday we celebrated Wai Kru Day. This day is more or less Teacher Appreciation Day. Many of the students brought in garlands of flowers to give to their teachers. In the middle of the day we had a short ceremony where students presented flowers to their teachers and chanted and sang. When the students hand over the flowers they are technically supposed to crawl towards the teacher on their knees then bow down even more deeply, resting their head and hands on the teachers knees. The garlands were quite pretty. Here are a few that I received.
