Teaching is probably one of the most rewarding jobs although it may be the least well rewarded in terms of money in many countries.

In spite of that I am really happy to be a teacher and so today I need to thank my teachers for helping me to become who I am, I thank my fellow teachers for supporting and helping me to improve as a teacher. Last but not least, I am grateful to my students for teaching me how important it is to learn in order to teach.

End of 2016

And 2016 is gone and we had a wonderful farewell with our colleagues participation in our Ninth Academic Event.

This is a summary of the event, good to see old and new faces but above all, good to see people involved in all the activities.

Thank you 2016 !!!

TEACHERS HELPING TEACHERS

In the last V Facebook Event that took place last December 5th we collected toys and clothes from the participants who attended the event to help a teacher of English, Sylvia, from a very needed village in the outskirts of Lima.

 

She devotes most of her time and her meager salary to support a shelter for strayed dogs. She relies on the help of the neighbouring families who-in spite of having very little- are always willing to help.

 

Customized Training Services created this iniatitve because kindness and generosity are values we always talk about with our students and wanted them to see by themselves how easy it is to help even if you think you have nothing.

 

This video is of the day we gave all the donations away in the shelter whose name is Allco Wasi, which in quechua, the ancient language of the inhabitants of Peru, means The House of Dogs.

 

 

 

On October 5, 1994, the first World Teachers' Day was held after an initiative of the Special Intergovernmental Conference on the Status of Teachers signed by representatives of UNESCO and International Labour Organization. This event has been organized on the same date each year since then.

The United Nations´(UN) World Teachers´Day celebrates the role teachers play in providiing quality education at all levels. This enables children and adults of all ages to learn to take part in and contribute to their local community and global society. International organizations such as TESOL and Education International (EI) organize international, national and local events.

 

In some areas posters are displayed and pupils and ex-pupils are encouraged to send e-cards or letters of appreciation to teachers who made a special or memorable contribution to their education.

On this special day, thank you teachers for you are the most powerful source of Quality Education.
