We all took the time out to celebrate with dad this Sunday, and hope you did too. Happy Belated Fatherâs Day to all the deserving dads out there!With an even busier summer just around the corner, we would like to announce that the Teach Away Telegram will be on âsummer vacation,â and will be back to grace your inboxes this fall. Make sure not to miss our last issue of the season! Learn about the education-related charity that Teach Away made a donation to this month, and if youâre feeling extra generous, you can donate too! Parents heading to the UAE this August might appreciate a fatherâs perspective on bringing his wife and child with him overseas. And dads and dudes alike are sure to enjoy reading about the dos and donâts when driving in Japan.On behalf of Teach Away, we wish you a safe and relaxing summer vacation. Stay tuned for the next issue of the Telegram this S eptemberâ¦Happy Summer! -The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:Raising Funds to Educate YouthAn Interview with ACCESSO InternationalBringing Family to the UAE - A Father's PerspectiveDos and Don'ts of Driving in JapanRaising Funds to Educate our YouthJune isnât simply a great month for fathers â" itâs a great month for Teach Away and for the non-profit organization, ACCESO International. Earlier this month, Teach Away held a fundraising party âof the millennium,â where friends and family came to show their generosity and, of course, to partied hard!Given Teach Awayâs goal of facilitating the flow of qualified, skilled educators to improve the quality of education worldwide, it seemed only natural that we get involved in a fundraising campaign which helps fund educational institutions in less wealthy areas around the world. So, we joined forces with ACCESO International, planned a party, invited everyone we knew, and raised $600 to donate to ACCESO.If youâve ever found yours elf wondering why you should teach abroad, or what difference it would make in the lives of your students, read the following interview to get inspired â" to teach, to donate, and to apply online now!Interview with Dr. Christine Gervais, founder of ACCESO InternationalKathleen: Christine, could you please tell us about ACCESO International? What is its main purpose and how does it work?Christine: ACCESO International is a Canadian international development organization that supports all levels of education from preschool to post-secondary in twelve countries mainly in Latin America and the Caribbean, and with one project for refugees and immigrants in Canada. The main purpose is to provide greater access to education through these three main ways:a) Bursaries that cover tuition, transportation, school supplies, uniforms, backpacks, shoes, etc.b) Teaching and learning materials for preschools, primary schools and high schoolsc) Human rights training mainly for girls and womenK: Can you share with our readers what inspired you to start such a selfless organization? Who makes sure it continues running smoothly?C: I was inspired to start ACCESO International because I was very grateful to have received scholarships to complete all of my post-secondary education, from my bachelors to my doctorate, and I wanted to share that privilege with students and families who struggle with access to basic education in countries where loan, bursary, or scholarship programs are not as readily available. I had also witnessed the sacrifices that families in countries, like the Dominican Republic and Peru, make simply to send their children to school. I was inspired by their determination and I felt compelled to support their efforts.We are very well supported by a team of approximately 30 volunteers, the majority of whom live in the Ottawa area and are originally from the countries where we have projects. Our volunteers and board members are a talented group of mothers, teachers, engineers, lawyers, nutritionists, doctors, policy-makers, students, etc. We share the tasks in a non-hierarchical way and we collaborate based on consensus-building and parity. Volunteers contribute in areas such as project management, fundraising, marketing, translation, administration, etc. K: What made you decide to focus primarily on education and literacy?C: We believe that education provides life-changing opportunities not only towards employment, but also (and especially) towards greater self-realization, empowerment, independent thought, and therefore, liberation.K: As you may know, each month Teach Away sends dozens of skilled teachers to countries in Asia and the Middle East to take part in what is becoming a worldwide phenomenon of teaching English and ESL abroad. As someone whose life revolves around education, what words of advice might you have for teachers, young and old, who are considering this life-altering move? C: It is an opportunity of a lifetime, but it is o ne where you may be experiencing more life changes than creating them. Be open to being changed rather than assuming you will be changing others. As Westerners, we assume so much about our culture, language, and beliefs but we have much to learn from others. I recommend that you forge relationships with fellow world citizens as ones based on solidarity and mutual respect, rather than hierarchy and privilege, and the outcomes should be much more effective and meaningful for everyone involved.K: Any final words on why our readers, most of whom are teachers, may want to donate a few of their hard-earned dollars to your generous fundraising campaign? C: Education empowers and liberates. It enables people to lift themselves out of economic uncertainty, political instability and gender inequality. Supporting education through ACCESO International guarantees that 100% of your donation is allocated directly to our projects since administrative expenses are covered by the founder, her family , volunteers and corporate sponsors. So your donation is a direct investment in the lives of our students, their families and communities.How to Donate:For readers far, far away who wish they could have attended Teach Awayâs Around the World Summer Kickoff and Charity Fundraiser, your donation is still very much welcome and appreciated. You can donate at: https://www.accesointernational.ca/english/donations.html.A Fatherâs Perspective: Bringing My Family to the UAEThe process of bringing our 4-month-old daughter to the UAE was a bit of a challenge. The fear of the unknown concerned us greatly. Would they have good, healthy baby food? Would we find a good pediatrician that speaks English? Aside from all the travel arrangements, along with packing, and tying up all the loose ends, the babyâs needs were always a top concern. I was faced with the possibility of traveling without my wife and infant daughter--until an exception was made for all nursing mothers. We were very pleased knowing we would be together in sharing this new experience.After hearing of other teachers whose families had to wait 4-6 weeks before departing for the UAE, I was very grateful to have my family travel with me. We stayed in a resort hotel for 2 months, which was a nice experience to share. Even so, there are still some advantages to having your family come later.⢠Due to the unbearable heat in late August, early September, we would not go outside until the sun had set; and still, it was very hot.⢠Being that I was going to workshops and orientations every day, my wife and baby stayed in the hotel since it was too hot to leave.⢠With no car for my wife to leave the hotel, we would need to take a taxi daily to go to one of the malls to eat and do some shopping.My advice to parents coming to the UAE is to search for expat communities online. There is excellent information from people who went through exactly everything you are going through while you prepare to move abroad. The y have jumped through all the same hoops and have already cleared all the hurdles. These same people are usually helpful enough to spare you all the wasted hours waiting around, going to the wrong places, and learning the hard way.To go back to my worries above, there are great doctors here. If you donât like a doctor, itâs as simple as going to another as we did. There is plenty of medicine available here, and you will never see a more abundant display of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and foods from all around the world at the markets.Life is obviously different here. But Iâve learned that this is an ideal setting in which to raise a family.Having a lot of free time has allowed us to grow closer as a family, and truly and wholly enjoy our baby girl. I would see this as the main difference between raising our child here as opposed to the United States. Getting home late in the afternoon, tired after a long day, and needing to then tend to the needs of a baby was something that we knew we could not escape if we stayed in the States. This is by far the biggest advantage of bringing your family here. In my opinion, this is a great place for a family to live.Driving in Japan â" To Do or Not To DoFor responsible dads and car-loving males and females alike, if you happen to be driving in Japan in the near future, we thought you might find it helpful to learn the rules of the road (instead of unknowingly break them). If youâve already got yourself an international driverâs licenseâ"knowing you wouldnât be able to spend a year (or more) away from the driverâs seatâ"we hope you arenât too surprised by the large number of tiny âtoy carsâ on Japanese streets and highways. With all those narrow roads, youâll soon agree that good cars come in small packages in this small island country.Itâs always best not to be surprised when youâre on the road though, so weâve compiled a nice list of dos and donâts to ensure you arenât caught by sur prise (or caught up in some unnecessary road rage) while driving in your host country. Read on to learn what you should and should not do while youâre behind the wheel in Japan...Do be aware of the âleaf stickerâ system. If you see a green and yellow leaf on the back of the car in front of you, that means that the driver has obtained his/her license within the last year. If you see a red and yellow leaf, this means that the driver is an elderly person. In both cases, it would be prudent for you to use extra care and patience while driving near these cars.Do honk your horn (lightly) or flash your hazard lights to thank a driver for letting you pass by him/her on a narrow road, letting you in, etc.Do stop to let pedestrians cross at marked crosswalks. Japanese drivers tend to be very considerate of pedestrians, and it is always best to try and conform to the customs of your host country.Do wear your seatbelt in both the front and back seats of a car. Recently in Japan, it has be come mandatory for those in the back seat to wear seatbelts as well.Do take note of the difference between flashing yellow and flashing red lights. Drive with caution when you are nearing an intersection with a flashing yellow light. Stop and look both ways when you arrive at an intersection with a flashing red light.Donât text or talk on your cell phone while driving. Japanâs laws regarding this have recently changed and become much stricter, so donât take the chance!Donât drink any alcohol before you get behind the wheel. Unlike Canada or the U.S., Japan has a âno toleranceâ law when it comes to drinking and driving. If you are caught after having had only half a can of beer, you will be fined, and could even lose your license (and your job!).Donât be surprised by a cyclist who âcomes out of nowhere.â In Japan, many cities have small roads and high walls which make it difficult to anticipate who or what is coming around the corner. Also, due to fewer sidewalks th an we are used to in North America, it is not uncommon to see a cyclist biking in the street in front of you. In case of collision between cars and cyclists, it is always the car driver who is at fault â" no matter what the situation.Donât forget to get your tires changed when the season changes. Snow tires are a necessity in Japan as it is rare that roads would be plowed or salted, so winter driving can be difficult at times.Donât drive on the right side of the road! You will either need to get used to driving on the left side of the road, or just stick to what youâre used to â" depending on where youâre from.

Departure Roulette Would You Say Yes
Departure Roulette Would You Say Yes By Amy WoodbridgeRecently, Heineken asked travelers at an airport if they would trade in their travel plans on a whim to play âdeparture rouletteâ â" pushing a button and heading to whatever destination appeared on the board. Would you say yes? Could you let go of your plans, leave it to fate, and just say, âletâs goâ?Take a look:Iâm an avid traveler, and I like to think Iâm reasonably spontaneous. In the past, Iâve left home to teach in Thailand in less time than it takes many people to choose a new color of paint for their kitchen. Watching this video, I wanted to say that I would go for it, take my chances on Departure Roulette, but Iâm not sure that I actually would.The ProsIâm making the assumption here that the company covered any potential visa issues involved, and is only sending travelers to safe destinations. With that out of the way:You only live once! This could be the trip of a lifetime.Itâs good to be spontaneous. Iâm not suggesting turning your life upside-down on a regular basis, but being open to new experiences is important. Doing something fun and unexpected can often give us a much-needed psychological and emotional boost.It would make for a great story. âWell, I was headed to Chicago to visit my cousin, but I ended up in Bali. These things happen, you know?â (Bonus points for delivering this with your best no-big-deal attitude, like you just take last-minute trips to Bali whenever you like).The ConsThe downside to this approach, I think, is when it is presented to travelers: while theyâre already at the airport with travel plans set. If someone called me and told me to show up at the airport tonight to head to a mysterious destination, then I think Iâd go for it! But when Iâm at the airport with my bags, Iâm usually in one of a few situations:Iâm flying home to see my family. No, itâs not as exciting as a free trip to Cyprus, but when I live so far from my family, I enjoy my rare trips home to see th em.Iâm traveling for work. I donât want to lose my job â" I donât think I have to explain this one.I already have a vacation planned. The last time I was at an airport, I was headed for a vacation that I was pretty excited for. Depending on my destination and how adventurous I was feeling, Iâm not sure whether Iâd be willing to change my vacation plans or not.Under the right circumstances, I would love to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to a mystery destination. There arenât too many places on Earth I wouldnât like to visit. Ultimately, though, I probably would turn down this game of Departure Roulette.How about you? How adventurous are you â" would you go for it?Amy Woodbridge is a writer for Teach Away Inc.
4 Tips for Getting Fit
4 Tips for Getting Fit pexels.com Well, there are countless blogs, workout videos, apps, healthy recipes, etc. to make us all lose our minds a little bit when it comes to fitness. Itâs very easy to become overwhelmed with it all, give up, and turn to a bowl of popcorn and some candy and call it a day. Unfortunately, weâre running out of time. Quickly. So with that in mind, itâs time to take action and achieve those results weâve all been patiently waiting on the couch for the abs fairies to deliver. According to a recent article on NBC news by Bayer Consumer Health, there are four steps that we can all take. 1. âGet Your Nutrientsâ According to Bayer, hunger can be cured by something as simple as a spoonful of peanut butter. Itâs very easy to turn to processed foods for a quick snack, but as a general rule, if there are more than a few ingredients in the food youâre eating (i.e. thereâs a list of ingredients, half of which you canât pronounce) donât eat it. Junk food is not good for you, so try to avoid it as much as possible. In general, stick to the 80-20 rule: have 80 percent of your diet be made of healthy calories and 20 percent can be for those cravings/unhealthy items. Also, if utilizing vitamins, be sure to use them in addition to your healthy eating, not as the sole source of vitamins. In other words, a healthy diet is key to your workout plan, whether you want it to be or not, so the more healthy food youâre putting into your body, the better. To avoid temptation, remove all junk food from your house. Laziness typically wins out and if the food isnât directly in front of you, you arenât likely going to seek it out when youâre surrounded by healthy alternatives. 2. âWork Harder for Less Timeâ Circuit training, or âshort, high-effort bursts followed by short periods of active recovery,â is the best way to achieve results. So donât plan out a full, hour-long workout where youâre running or using one machine, but instead, incorporate several different components for about a minute each. While in total, you arenât going to be spending nearly as much time working out (itâll probably cut your workout in half), itâs going to be more effective in the long run. This is really good news for all of us, as the less time we can spend in the gym, the better. So get those workouts in, shower, and enjoy some Netflix. Win-Win. 3. âCount Up, Not Downâ Many individuals set a number for themselves. For instance, some workout routines start you out at 10 pushups, 10 sit ups and 10 squats. However, this isnât a true baseline measure. Instead, time yourself for one minute and see how many of each you can do. Record that number. For the final minute, do a plank. Use as many moves as you want and set up a daily routine to do in the morning, at night, or during your lunch break. You can try to improve your numbers every day, truly giving yourself room for progress. As another tip, donât count up when doing any reps but count down instead. Countdowns are more likely to motivate you in your workout. 4. âTrain Legs to Get Absâ Show of hands, how many of you skip leg day? You arenât alone. Leg day is skipped by many individuals, simply because itâs too hard or because we donât seem to care so much about our legs and instead want results in more noticeable places, like our arms and abs. However, leg training is perhaps the most important. Leg workouts tend to burn the most calories, as youâre working the largest muscle group in your body, and many leg workouts also happen to target your abs. Two birds, one stone. All four of these tips are great to keep in mind when putting together your daily workout routine and when hitting the kitchen for some meal prep or quick snacks. Unfortunately, itâs important that we all understand good health doesnât come easy it takes hard work and dedication, both in the kitchen and in the gym. So put down the bag of MMs, grab some gym shoes, and get to work! Swimsuit season is just around the corner, and at least one of us needs to be ready for it!
