Board Member at Refugee Translation Project - BOWLING GREEN, New York, United States
The Refugee Translation Project provides free professional translation support to refugees seeking asylum and other immigration relief. Our clients have fled war and persecution in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, Cameroon, Eritrea, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Many of them are in need of medical attention, including small children. All of them deserve to live in peace and safety. Unfortunately, most of these people have lost almost everything they own and cannot afford to pay for the speedy translation of important documents such as medical records, identity papers, personal statements, and other documents supporting their cases for asylum and relocation. Our project relieves this financial burden by providing free, professional translation services so that refugees can focus their limited resources on making a new home.
