Transcript: Child Rearing Both Cristina and Jesenia remember feeling welcomed into a Catholic Church in a suburb of Miami when they came to Florida. They continued to celebrate Christmas and Easter in the same way they had in Colombia and they both found comfort in these traditions. Colombia What was your most cherished family tradition? Housing A better life In 1986 sisters Cristina (17) and Jesenia (6), along with their mother and father immigrated to Florida from Colombia. An Immigrant Family’s Cultural Life Story Cristina did not seek higher education, she began working as a maid in a resort hotel. When Cristina was 20, she met and married another immigrant from South America. They began raising a family together while her husband worked as a chef in a resort and Cristina focused on the household and children. It took almost 6 more months for Jesenia to come to terms with what she needed to do. She had not been able to see her family in almost 2 years, she had no money that she could call her own and she did not have a driver's license. A women in her church to her about Catholic Charities and about a YWCA shelter in a town called Wheeling, WV, that was about and hour away. Education and Marriage Marriage Jesenia saw her husband becoming more controlling of her and less in control of his temper. When Jesenia stated that she would like to find a job and have a neighbor babysit 6-month-old Jack, Jack Sr. became violent with Jesenia. Jesenia had held onto her Catholic beliefs, and had once again been a comfort to her to find a local Catholic community to join. This was one of the only freedoms Jack Sr. allowed her. Both Cristina and Jesenia said that their most cherished traditions was to set up the nativity scene as a family during Christmas. Their mother had brought a very old nativity with them that had been in her family. They both remarked how they loved waking up on December 25th to see the baby Jesus in the manger. Marriage Job availability Marriage Safety FL Jesenia came to stay at the YWCA shelter with the help of her church family and enrolled in Early Head Start services for her son. Since then, she has gotten her driver's license, a job at a local restaurant and has finally found housing for herself and Jack. Jack is a beautiful 5-year-old boy who speaks both Spanish and English fairly well. Sisters' Experiences of Immigrating WV Jack quickly isolated Jesenia from her family. She was no longer working and had no friends in Pittsburgh. Jack also wanted to begin a family and Jesenia was soon pregnant. Their son, who they named Jack as well, was born in 2013. Jesenia found that her husband held the antiquated beliefs that women should put their husband and the household first and that men were to be respected and obeyed. This is similar to the 'machismo' beliefs long held in Colombia. Freedom Education and Marriage "Traditions kept us together." Colombian children are raised to be obedient to adults, to conform to social expectations and to have religious devotion. Both Cristina and Jesenia had their children baptized in a Catholic Church and continue to attend services. Freedom Cristina and Jesenia shared that both of their parents worked and contributed to the household income. In Colombia, traditionally the male works and in the "head of the household". The woman is to rely on the man while he makes the decisions for the family. Neither Cristina nor Jesenia ever felt that their father treated their mother as less of an equal, both felt that they had a wonderful marriage. They also acknowledged that their parents valued their privacy and that most likely, the sisters were sheltered from any marital strife. Education This man, Jack, was living and working in Pittsburgh, PA, and told Jesenia that he was very wealthy. Jesenia and Jack had a "whirlwind" long-distance romance, which Jesenia now looks back on and calls it a hurricane. Jesenia and Jack had a large wedding in Miami with her family and then she moved to Pittsburgh with Jack. Opportunities Cristina at 17 had a completely different experience immigrating than Jesenia at only 6 years of age. Cristina said that she was very much a "teenager" about it, not wanting to leave friends. Jesenia only remembers feeling happy and thinking that her parents, especially her mother, seemed happier when they came to Florida. Relationships Jesenia began attending an elementary school with many Spanish speaking children who were also from immigrant families. Jesenia finished high school, but had already been working as a waitress at a resort and continued to do so after graduating. At 19, Jesenia met a Colombian man who was staying in Miami on vacation.

Transcript: Day two I must say was much more enjoyable then day one. We were able to work along side a few other people in our age group which made things more fun and made time practically fly by. Although it was more fun, it was just as work intensive as the first. You start out by signing in and getting your gloves, apron, and hairnet. Once you have done this, you are ready to work again. Almost everything at Community Cooperative is donated. The breakfast sandwiches that they serve are donated from WAWA, the pastries are from Publix, and so many different companies donate so many different items for their cause. For one of our final jobs, we were assigned to cut open Ketchup packets and squeeze them into a container to be used to make Sloppy Joe. I'm not entirely sure who donated the ketchup packets but next time I hope they give bottles. We stood there for probably 45 minutes cutting the corners off of at least 1000 ketchup packets and then squeezing them into the container. This has to be one of the most tedious jobs I have ever encountered. We started off by tearing the corners off one packet at a time and then squeeze that single picket in the container. I could tell immediately that this would take forever. I then decided to grab a sharp knife, and cut a corner off each packet while others squeezed the packets. Day 2: Cutting open Ketchup One of the biggest parts of my volunteering was preparing the foods to be cooked. When we prepare foods, we are preparing for the following days meals. The meals that are being served today, were made from the day before. The first job I was put on was pulling pork to have it ready to be made into sweet and sour pork. Once pulled and placed into trays, I mixed a sweet and sour sauce with the pork for each tray. Once all trays were finished, saran wrap was placed on top of each tray, the tray was then put on a rack, and placed in the freezer. For my cross cultural project, my girlfriend and I decided to volunteer our time down at a local soup kitchen named Community Cooperative. I am not a rich or wealthy person but I do believe that I have been given many blessings in my life and it only felt proper to be able to give back to my community by helping the less fortunate. After we finished packaging all 147 trays, we were then given the duties of folding wash cloths and chopping red and green pepper. Nicole took on the task of folding the cloths while I chopped all 50+ peppers. Although this is a very nice facility, it was not built for tall people such as myself. My back was in a tremendous amount of pain from being hunched over cutting all of those peppers. Thankfully, by the time all the peppers were chopped, it was time for us to leave. Day 1: Meal Packaging Day 2: Preparing Pork Slabs By: Ryan Vance Once we were finished preparing the trays, myself and another college student were put to the task of preparing slabs of pork to be cooked. We were told to go into the walk in freezer, retrieve the boxes of pork, and bring them to the prep table. Once we had done this, we were shown how to cut open each package of pork, place the pork on the tray, cut slits into the pork for even heat distribution, and then season the pork with a salt and pepper mixture. Once you had finished these steps, two slabs of pork were placed on each tray and then placed on a rack. Between myself and the person I had working with me, we managed to prepare 18 slabs of meat. Day 2: Food Tray preparation Day 1: Preparing Food Once we finished cutting open all of the ketchup packets, we were then told to help out with the lunch serving assembly line. All the spaces got full pretty quickly so I was told to grab a rag and spray bottle to wipe down tables. We were only a few minutes from leaving and things were going pretty slow while we were there. I was able to greet a few people and have some small talk with them, but that was about it. I really did enjoy this experience and look forward to volunteering with them again. GOAL! Day 2: First Walking In The first thing you see when you walk in is a huge kitchen with tons of supplies. Community Cooperatives facility was very well stocked and nicely organized. Once you walk in, you sign in next to your name, grab a hair net, pair of gloves that fit your hand size, and an apron. Once you have done this, you are ready to work. Day two started off a bit differently then day one. Instead of preparing food for the next day, we went straight into preparing trays for meals on wheels. Since I took pictures of the process for that day, I will be able to better explain how each tray is put together. First, each tray goes down an assembly line, The meal for that day was broccoli and carrots, a cookie or pastry and tilapia over top rice. Once all items are in the tray, they are given to me to have saran wrap pressed over. The tray is placed into a special template within a saran wrap press. The saran wrap is pulled over the tray and pressed down for five seconds to ensure

Transcript: How are Gimnasio Vermont's teachers and PSU student teachers, in a cross-cultural setting, able to identify differences and similarities in teaching practices? Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Bilingual IB Mandarin Pruebas Saber 2005 - 2012 1,585 Students 56% girls and 44% boys classroom average of 25 students 85% will graduate from GV Personal Space "Student teacher 1: Right away we were all welcomed into the school, and began the day. The first thing I noticed was how affectionate the students were, right away was the swarm of all male students waiting for their teacher. Once they spotted their teacher, they ran towards her and hugged her, a form of affection that is commonly avoided in the States. Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Journal I then observed the students practice writing lower and upper case letters. The students knew to write the uppercase letters with a red color pencil, and use a pencil to write the lowercase letters. I noticed that when the students wrote the letters, and copied a sentence the teacher was very particular about how the words were written. She circled or underlined parts that were written beyond or below the designated line. I feel that in the States we are not as particular as they are here, but the students then go back and correct it. I think that it is incredibly helpful to write the uppercase letters in a red color pencil, and lowercase letters in pencil. Focus Group “Colored pencils for CAPS + punctuation helps”. Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Mentor presentation Student Teacher We talk about cultural proficiency in seminar every few classes, but you cannot be prepared for cultural proficiency until you are placed in the position to adapt to local culture. Co-Teaching What I thought it was very interesting was seeing how they work (student teacher and the mentor) together, because I had the opportunity to also have a mentor at the same time with other interns. To see how they work together and while I was explaining a topic they were not just observing but going though the places answering questions, helping me correct of helping the kids, so I can see how they work together at the school and may be get a little idea of how it works to have some else in the classroom. - I left the student teacher lead the class, - How did you feel about that?- It was very nice, she prepared a game, so she explained something before and then she did a game. The students liked it very much and I thought it was very useful. Maybe it opened my mind because some time we have so much topic to cover, so much to do that you that you think you never have time to do those things… you will be behind… again the game that she did was a short game, very useful and I could see how that helped them understood the topic. So I said ok… may be that is something that I can do next year when I cover this topic I can do that game again. I could divide the group for example in little groups of fours. While I was doing certain math exercises, the student teacher had another activity. The girls (students) design and interview, they wrote and interview for the student teacher, because we were… our next topic was yes no questions in simple present tense. So said this is the perfect opportunity to practice questions with the student teacher… so while a was doing math with the girls that were struggling, the student teacher was going group per group taking five minutes per group because I have 26 students, having five minutes and answering the questions… it was nice because we could do two things at the same time. Every body was on task and every body was happy. - I would like to have more than a week,- Why?- Because a week is not enough, because the student teacher was doing other activities, she was visiting schools and everything. And so here at school we have a seven-day week so I would like her to be the seven days that we have the whole week, for her to see how students advance during that seven-day week. Like for the assessments and everything, because they have the assessments on day seven. Gimnasio Vermont Student Teacher preparation Research Question Teachers Findings NEXT?

Due to financial cuts in the health care system there are few professionals. Doctors and nurses, which were trained in Cameroon, emigrate because in Cameroon the payment is bad for too much work. Nurses are unemployed even though their help is needed. Some of them even help out voluntarily so they will not lose their skills. Outside the major cities, facilities are often dirty and poorly equipped. Life expectancy at birth is estimated to be 54.71 years in 2012, among the lowest in the world. Endemic diseases include dengue fever, filariasis, leishmaniasis, malaria, meningitis, schistosomiasis, and sleeping sickness. So with life expectancy so low there isn’t much concern for the elderly.
