This is the deadliest animal in the world! If she is infected, she can transmit malaria when feeding. So what can we do to reduce the chances of her biting us? If you are staying in a malarial zone, it is highly recommended that you take the right antimalarial drugs for the region that you are visiting. Some drugs now show resistance in certain pockets of the globe so it's important to make sure that the drugs you are taking are effective. If you don't have access to drugs or can't take them for any particular reason, there are several others things that you can do to help protect yourself. Wearing long sleeved shirts and trousers of medium weight and neutral colour will offer some protection and especially if they are impregnated with permethrin. You can also use an EPA approved insect repellent that contains 20% DEET, IR3535, or Picaridin. If possible, you should sleep under a bed net, ensure windows and doors have screens and avoid standing water bodies during feeding time!

WHAT WE DO

The world is your oyster, but are you really prepared to face the many challenges associated with overseas travel and the potential dangers that could lie ahead. Some of the main risks to travellers are illness, crime and problems with finances and documents. Having mixed emotions of excitement and nerves can be normal, however nerves can be easily overcome, and with a little help the most inexperienced traveller can be equipped with the knowledge they need to confidently respond to any situation they may encounter whilst overseas.

Our Gap Year course has been designed to broaden your awareness of the wider world, teach you how to keep yourself safe, and how to minimise risk to your health whilst travelling. We want you to be able to recognise situations that could potentially place you in danger and have the knowledge and the confidence to make decisions that will help you to evade preventable incidents.

WHY DO WE DO IT?

After spending many years working overseas, and often in developing countries for long duration's of time, we have witnessed first hand the inherent dangers associated with travel. As parents ourselves, we understand the need for our children to be as prepared as possible when travelling away from home. Our children's safety is paramount, and it is for this reason that we have developed OSKRAE. Using our own personal experiences, those of our colleagues, and the knowledge that we have acquired throughout our careers, we strongly believe that with the right preparation, most potential dangers can be avoided.
