Releaving the stress

"Teaching can be stressful!"  I noted to the teachers at Meyna School on Holhudhoo Island.  "When you use this little hand massage from Thailand, you will have no more stress!"

I also noted to the teachers, as I gave them this small token of appreciation..... that when I was in the classroom, I'd have one of these in my mind as I taught.  If I noticed a student who might be having a bad day, I'd just place the hand massage on that student's desk.... and let them play with it for awhile.

I bought a bunch of these wooden hand massagers in Chiang Mai before I came to the Maldives, to give as gifts.
