Flag Day
Hondurans celebrate their independence for almost two months. On September 1st, we had an assembly for the official flag-raising at EIS. The students shared their presentations from their Estadios Sociales classes. It was all in Spanish.
Even though I didn’t understand the presentations or the etiquette for Flag Day, it reminded me of raising the flag at Camp Anokijig. It was always a meditation on unity and responsibility. The flag ceremony at Anokijig made me feel like part of camp and this assembly made me feel like part of Honduras. It was also nice to see my students in a different way.
The international flags outside of the administration building:
Yes, it’s upside down!
