Tom was teaching a very energetic student. This student was smart, but didn't know how to interact with her surroundings. Tom made it an effort to illustrate 'raising hands' as a respectful way to get someone's attention.
My host family had my fellow training group over for lunch. We all sat, talked and Jessica taught my host sister the 'hand slapping game.' It was the hit of the afternoon.
After arriving at our host training site, my site-mate and I were brought to play soccer with our host brother's friends. They had never seen a digital camera up close and were posing while Tom played with a few of them in the background.
This is a photo of my counterpart, myself, and our 5th and 6th grade students on the last day of school in my last year of service. It was taken at our school, minutes before their final English exam took place.
