Hi Andrea,
Your project sounds fantastic and I would love to get involved...
As I understand it, what you are needing now is not translators, but actually people to help gather submissions from underprivileged children to be published in the book, correct?
Do you have a campaign poster of any sort? To get word out, maybe put posters in strategic places, the posters would include:
1. Short explanation of the project
2. Suggestions of suitable places/ methods to find suitable children
3. Simple, step by step instructions on submission details
4. Naturally, eye catching text and graphics.
I used to sideline as a graphic designer in (one of) my past life, and would be happy to put together a campaign poster for you. Anyone could then download and print off the posters from your website to distribute/ display in public areas.
Let me know what you think anyway...

Marisa, has submitted some stories and has worked very hard. I really would like to say my sincere thanks to her, here in this forum.
Your experience is very useful, because you did the whole road of paper work and so on. You always have been waiting for our sometimes delayed response and not given up at all.
In other words I think you are so so awesome!!
Bye bye dear Marisa....

Hi everybody!
I can tell you my experience as a collector of children's writing pieces for the project. I had your same sensation at the beginning and I thought I cannot stop children in the street and give them a sheet of paper to make them write something. Then, I had the idea of looking for an institution in my city where underprivileged children spend the day.I was lucky to contact an institution that offers workshops for these children and they already had collections of stories written by the children.
I hope my experience is useful.
Regards,
Marisa
