Quote from: Jamoe on December 10, 2025, 08:06:25 PMIs it too late to donate?

Recently we sent someone a https://www.cookfood.net/ voucher when we were supporting them and their family through a tough time. Might be an idea?

No, not too late. I will periodically check the Account/PayPal to update.
Just please make sure you include Gibbo in a reference so it is clear what the cash is for :)

To further update you all, we have also now purchased him a year subscription to an anime streaming service, Crunchyroll. More to follow as things pop up that he is keen on :)

I am delighted that we are able to chip in and hopefully help bring a smile to his face with things like this, thanks again all for the love.

Nice.

You can purchase annual Spotify cards. May be worth considering?

Thanks for organising Ben.

Understood but its a massive shame. I personally preferred the April / may lan's as its a bit warmer and next year was in the Easter holidays so was expecting a higher turnout.

I know we talked about getting the signups out way before so could call it earlier if the sign up was poor.

Not meaning to 2nd guess your decision but is worth putting a pole up for a week as who would attend if proceeded in April.

The lans are a big part of my mental wellbeing as I have something to look forward to and can disconnect from the real world.

The modern job market is shifting rapidly, and more people than ever are searching for careers that offer flexibility, mobility, and long-term stability. Teaching English as a foreign language provides all three, allowing individuals to work from home, travel internationally, or build a sustainable career abroad. A TEFL/TESOL certification is the foundation that makes this possible, equipping future educators with the tools they need to teach effectively in different environments. To learn how certification can help you start a flexible and meaningful career path, visit https://tefl-tesol-certification.com/

One of the main attractions of the TEFL/TESOL field is the ability to customize your work life. Many certified teachers choose to work entirely online, teaching students from various countries through virtual platforms. Others prefer the excitement of relocating to destinations such as Japan, South Korea, Spain, or Latin America, where English teachers are in high demand. Certification ensures that, regardless of the path chosen, instructors can deliver high-quality lessons and adapt to diverse learning needs.

Beyond flexibility, the TEFL/TESOL profession offers competitive earning potential. Online teachers often have the freedom to set their own schedules and rates, while international schools typically provide salaries that include additional benefits such as housing assistance, paid holidays, flight reimbursement, and healthcare support. These advantages attract professionals from many backgrounds, including career changers looking for more meaningful work and recent graduates seeking an alternative to traditional office roles.

A TEFL/TESOL certification also helps teachers build confidence in their instructional methods. Trainees gain a solid understanding of language structure, grammar, pronunciation, and communicative teaching strategies. They learn how to design engaging lessons, support students at different proficiency levels, and maintain a positive learning environment. This preparation not only improves teaching performance but also helps educators feel more secure when stepping into new or unfamiliar cultural settings.

Ultimately, the certification empowers individuals to create a lifestyle that aligns with their personal ambitions—whether that means traveling the world, establishing a fully remote career, or contributing to global education initiatives. Teaching English is more than simply sharing a language; it's an opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life and make a measurable impact on their futures. With a TEFL/TESOL certification, anyone can turn this dynamic and rewarding profession into a long-term, sustainable path.

Instant lifelong ban from future LANs.

:D

Look forward to seeing you in October mate.
