MOBILE STREAMS Opens 4 Subsidiary Companies in Latin America

Bridge Selected as Partner for Chilean Ministry of Educations Prestigious English Opens Doors Program

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 26, 2010

The Ministry of Education in Chile, in conjunction with the United Nations Development Program, has asked Denver-based TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) training center Bridge to recruit volunteers for Chiles English Opens Doors Program. With a Spanish/English language training center in Santiago, Chile and over two decades of experience in the language, travel and education fields, Bridge is uniquely qualified to recruit teachers up to the standards of this prestigious program.

The English Opens Doors Program National Volunteer Center takes very seriously its privileged role as facilitator to ambassadors of the English language. Therefore, EODP-NVC and partner institution, Bridge, must adhere to strict guidelines with regard to the eligibility of each prospective volunteer, said a representative of the Ministry of Education in Chile (MINEDUC).

Native English speakers with a minimum of a bachelors degree are needed to fill volunteer service initiatives in all twelve regions of Chile. Bridge recruits volunteers for the four southernmost regions, comprising the Lakes Region and wild and pristine Chilean Patagonia.

The Chilean government emphasizes the importance of the English language as a key to the countrys development and success in todays global world. The Chilean Ministry of Education created English Opens Doors to bring volunteers into underserved classrooms, helping students and local teachers improve their English language skills and practice with native speakers.

The EODP-NVC is looking forward to another successful year in 2011, in which Chilean primary and secondary students may continue to benefit from having contact with a native English speaking volunteer, said a representative of MINEDUC. In exchange, this opportunity provides new developments in global outreach through volunteering and language learning, thus opening the door to cross-cultural exchanges and experiences for both Chileans and volunteers.

Volunteers co-teach with Chilean English teachers and live with local host families, becoming an integral part of the community and experiencing the culture on a much deeper level than an average tourist and, in turn, exposing students in Chile to customs, languages, and viewpoints different from their own.

My students were fascinated with anything and everything about US culture, from music, to baseball, to simply passing a dollar and some change around the room. Many of them had seen tourists and backpackers passing through town, but for most of them I was the first foreigner they really interacted with, said Sarah Athanas, an EODP volunteer participant in 2008.

According to MINEDUC, The volunteers main responsibilities are: to focus on improving the students speaking and listening skills; to motivate the students to take an interest in learning English; and to share their culture with the students, thus broadening their worldview.

The program includes an in-depth orientation and training in Santiago, and Bridge participants also receive a 120-hour TEFL Online teacher-training course and certification, designed to prepare them for the particular challenges of teaching English as a foreign language overseas. Volunteers may also participate in two weeks of free Spanish language classes at the BridgeChile language center in Santiago prior to their service initiative to facilitate their communication with students and community members during the program.

Adyen Opens for Business in Latin America

Sao Paulo, Brazil (PRWEB) October 18, 2011

Adyen, the fastest-growing provider of next generation Internet and mobile payment solutions, today announced the opening of a new Latin America office in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Persistent growth in many Latin American markets, coupled with a rising demand for international payment processing makes it an attractive prospect for Adyen, who is now actively seeking additional local and international partners in the region.

Adyens Latin American office will be led by Jean Christian Mies, who joins from Formel D do Brasil, where he was responsible for heading up commercial operations. Adyens expansion into Latin America is a direct result of the companys large customer and partner network, which will support the move. One such customer is Getty Images Latin America, a regional provider of digital content dedicated to creating and distributing a wide variety of material; from royalty-free stock photographs and editorial images to film clips, music and multimedia. In Latin America, Getty Images mission is to provide the widest range of high quality products and services to make its clients jobs easier and more effective. Essential to this streamlined service is an efficient ecommerce platform.

Our website needs to work well and it needs to be simple as our customers usually have very strict deadlines and need images quickly, said Juan Casadoumecq, CFO, Getty Images Latin America. We have worked with Adyen since the beginning of our e-commerce implementation and our clients in the Caribbean, North America, Mexico and Argentina are able to pay and download pictures safely and easily, any time of the day or night, thanks to Adyen.

The pace of e-commerce growth in Latin America has resulted in a number of issues associated with online transactions, when certain payment methods were not supported and non-Latin American banks still handled the bulk of payment processing. Adyen has worked to develop a local offering, with direct connections into multiple acquiring banks in the region, including the likes of Cielo and Redecard, to ensure that these issues have been addressed. Connections have also been established with partners in Peru, Argentina and Chile.

The opening of an office in Latin America is a momentous move for Adyen, explained Roelant Prins, CCO of Adyen. The speed with which people have been taking to the Internet in this part of the world and the pace of economic growth have been particularly striking. We have taken our time to develop a winning proposition and are hiring local professionals with a deep understanding of Latin American markets. We are looking forward to working with new customers and building new relationships in the region.
