I would like to help with the English into Finnish translation!
It's a great idea. If you need any help with my language pair I would love to help.
All the best,

this is a good cause, it's nice to know that so many colleagues are willing to help.
I'm not sure how you could probably need translation from or into Tagalog, but just in case, I'll be happy to help you with EnglishTagalog.
If you wish to bring your campaign online then I could help you get a sponsor for your web hosting/domain.
Here in the Philippines I also try to help impoverished juvenile cancer patients through an organization called C-Warriors. (http://www.c-warriors.org)

Dear Marion
Little drops of water make an ocean. I can surely lend my limited knowledge to supplement the ocean of altruism. Please count me for English into Bengali and Urdu.

This post is not a sentimental pre-christmas thing: I'm an active member of a local animal shelter (http://www.procateuropa.de) and also regularly contribute time and/or money when people are in need. But of course, my resources are limited. I have been racking my brain for some time how my abilities as a translator could help people – kids especially. Tonight, a coverage on TV triggered an idea.
In this report, small kids in a Russian hospital who are treated for cancer showed the reporters what they have been drawing and writing. I bet that kids in similar situations – hungry, alone, ill, whatever – do similar things. Writing poems, letters, stories, drawing pictures. It goes without saying that these writings and drawings will probably be all very special and unique. Making a book out of these works and selling it all over the world could generate a huge amount of money for those kids. And here we translators come in: These works will have to be translated into many languages in order to publish the book in many languages. From Russian into English into German into Chinese into you name it. We should offer to do it for free, of course.
I know: This thing needs to be organized. We need contacts. A publisher. And many more things. But before I go any further, I'd like to know if there are people out there on Proz.com who would like to join me.
So, what do you think? |

Count me in..
I can translate from English > Indonesian.
I don't have any idea of how to publish it, though but for the translation, I can handle it!

I'm just entering the translation world and I'm willing to do as much as I can to help with this project.
I would be very happy to do the English-Spanish version.

I'm also looking to get in the industry. I have helped non-profit organizations before (with labour, not translation) so I'm definitely in the frame of mind to help out. I can aid with any French->English translations that are needed.
