Spanish term or phrase: se desprenden de cuanto tienen
La consulta a continuación está relacionada con anécdotas de personas que fueron beneficiadas por un proyecto educativo:

Los Maestros se desprenden de cuanto tienen y de cuanto saben, porque su misión es esa: Dar!!! Porque, “La Educación es un Elemento Central de la Dignidad y También del Desarrollo Humano

Estoy más que consciente que en este caso no aplicaría el "get rid of..."

Una traducción menos literal sería: "Schoolteachers share what they have and what they know because it is their mission: To give! Because 'Education is a core element/principle of dignity and human development'

Sin embargo, me gustaría leer sus opiniones al respecto.

Give of themselves and share everything they know
Explanation:
Si bien el contexto es dar de sí y de su conocimiento, al traducirlo, la idea no se adapta adecuadamente. El conocimiento se comparte, mas no se "cede/entrega".

Part ways with what they have and what they know


Explanation:
Si bien la expresión "part ways" da a entender que quien otorga X se queda sin X (lo cuál no es el caso con la educación) sî implica una medida de sacrificio que no estaría presente en una traducción más literal.
Un saludo.
