TEAM-Mexico's
TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Orientation Program An Introduction to TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Program “After three weeks of residing in the republic of Mexico, Mr. Winthrop was not only convinced that he knew the country perfectly, but also that he had seen everything- that he had penetrated the character and the customs of its people and had explored it thoroughly.” Translated from Canasta de Cuentas Mexicanos by B. Traven Cultural Orientation: FAIL! Unlike this clueless tourist, we hope that you will start the journey of understanding and enjoying Mexico and her culture. It will take a lifetime! That’s why we called our program Peregrinando which means, “ taking a journey, a pilgrimage.” This program is part of a two year orientation for new workers . On the next page, you will see a timeline. It includes formal language study, journaling and a coaching program. We hope that you will develop skills of observation and sympathetic questioning that will serve you throughout your career. Please journal your observations and discuss your experience with your coach each week. Both of you can keep a checklist to record your progress. The activities can be done in any order. Some of the activities will be easy to do, others may require a translator for you to complete. If you would like to substitute another activity or reading for one we have chosen, please talk with your coach first. Our thanks to Beth Wyse, Curriculum Designer for Lifelearner Network, who guided us as we attempted “the discovery method.” We used many of Dr. Herbert Purnell’s general topics as an outline for our program (2004, A Language and Culture Learning Program for Independent Learners, preliminary rev. -

TASTES from HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE
TASTES FROM HOME Recipes from the Refugee Community PREFACE In writing the articles for this cookbook, I had the privilege and pleasure of speaking with refugees from all over the world who now call Canada home. Sometimes we had the good fortune of meeting in person, but because this project originated during the 2020 pandemic, often we spoke over the phone or through a video call, each of us holed up in our homes. They shared their stories, and they shared their recipes. From one foodie to another, the excitement and pride each person felt about their recipes was palpable. For many, the recipes hold a personal connection to a family member or to a memory, and the food is an indisputable connection to their culture. Each person has a unique story, with different outlooks, challenges, and rewards, but I was struck by one thing they all had in common—a desire to give back to Canada. From the Mexican restaurant owner who plans to employ dozens of Canadians, to the Syrian entrepreneur who donated the proceeds from his chocolate factory to Canadians impacted by wildfires, to the former Governor General who became a figurehead for the country, each person expressed profound gratitude and an eagerness to help the country that took them in. We often hear about refugees in abstract faraway terms, through statistics about the number of people fleeing from one country to another, but in speaking with these 14 people those statistics became humanized and the abstract became real experiences. Their stories are captivating, their recipes are mouthwatering, and I hope you enjoy both in the following pages. -

Tortitas De Quintoniles Ingredientes • Un Manojo De Quintoniles • 3
Quelite proviene del náhuatl quilitl y su significado es ‘hierba comestible’. Todos los días los ingerimos en diversos platillos que acompañan nuestro andar en los diversos pueblos de nuestro país, como en romeritos, tamales de chipilín, frijoles con epazote, huauzontles, amaranto o guías de chayote. Eso sí, cada vez los comemos menos, porque erróneamente se cree que son alimentos que sólo los pobres consumen. Sin embargo, la literatura especializada nos dice que contienen antioxidantes que se asocian con la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares, ya que ayudan a eliminar el colesterol, los triglicéridos, reducen el azúcar en la sangre y promueven una mejor circulación. Además, el cultivo de quelites está relacionado con el sistema tradicional de siembra conocido como milpa, y es muy importante porque ayuda a combatir hongos y plagas. Yo soy Flavia de Albino Ortega, tengo 56 años, siembro maíz y tengo una milpa. Me gusta cuidar el campo y cultivar, junto Tortitas de quintoniles con mis hijas, los maíces, las calabazas, los frijoles y lo que sale solito.

Chaplain Stories & News
Chaplain Stories & News Building Bridges—Parishes, Pastors, Prisons January 12, 2017 — Bishop Myron Cotta, Diocese of Sacramento, (at right in photo) took another important step to building a more effective and robust ministry to the incarcerated on Thursday, January 12. He had invited the seven State Prison Chaplains to meet with the pastors and key lay men and women from the parishes closest to the prisons. The meeting was facilitated by Deacon Clyde Davis, a former Prison Chaplain. Clyde has been hired by the California Bishops’ Conference to provide a range of supports for Catholic Chaplains throughout the state. During the meeting, Deacon Clyde said that one of the major problems faced by Prison Chaplains is a sense of isolation and a lack of support from the local parishes. The Sacramento Diocese and Bishop Cotta is seeking to build bridges from local parishes to the Chaplains and the prisons. He asked that each parish assign a “Prison Champion” to serve as a consistent connecting point between the parish and the chaplain. Many creative ideas were shared about how the parishes and the nearby prisons would both benefit from a closer relationship. Chaplin Smolinisky Reflects on a Tamale Christmas at Pelican Bay December 2016 — The first time I did a Christmas celebration with tamales and champurrado in jail or a prison setting, I was a volunteer at Mira Loma, an immigration detention center for Homeland Security. Imelda, another volunteer, brought tamales and champurrado. I thought this was a crazy idea at first, and I saw the hesitation of the Sherriff. When I came to Pelican Bay State Prison, I remember the interview question from the panel, “What makes men attracted to come to your services?” I responded, “Food! Jesus Christ teaches us to gather and eat and drink and when you do this, He is there.” “I haven’t had a homemade tamale in 25 years,” said Jose who had been in the SHU, or isolation unit, for almost two decades.
