English to Arabic: SEBC Syrian Enterprise and Business Center

Source text - English
Vision
Syrian Enterprise & Business Centre’s vision is:
"To be the driving force, and an innovative leader, for the Syrian business community in its bid to compete successfully in the global marketplace.
We believe that our independence and professionalism will help us to become the first port of call for Syrian private sector businesses wishing to grow, to operate with international standards, and to develop export markets.
We can influence and accelerate the transition of the Syrian business environment to one that is more supportive of private sector business, and to one that becomes enabling rather than controlling.
If we do this, we will allow Syrians to build a more prosperous and equitable society through the freedom to capitalise on their natural entrepreneurial ability".

الرؤية
تتمثل رؤية مركز الأعمال والمؤسسات السوري لنفسه على الشكل التالي:
"القوة المحركة، والرائد المبدع لقطاع الأعمال في سورية في محاولته للمنافسة بشكل ناجح في السوق العالمي.
ونؤمن بأن استقلالنا وحرفيتنا يساعداننا لأن نكون في مقدمة الداعين إلى أن يعمل القطاع الخاص السوري الراغب بالنمو وفقاً للمعايير الدولية، من أجل تطوير أسواق التصدير.
وبإمكاننا التأثير على عملية انتقال بيئة الأعمال في سورية، وتسريع هذا الانتقال، نحو بيئة أكثر دعماً لعمل القطاع الخاص وأكثر تمكيناً له بدلاً من إعاقته.
وبذلك نفسح المجال أمام المواطنين السوريين لبناء مجتمع أكثر ازدهاراً ومساواةً من خلال الحرية في استثمار قدرتهم الفطرية في ريادة الأعمال".

About me

I have been working in translation since July 2006. Between December 2006 and April 2007, I had an intensive training for editorial staff in Syria Today English Magazine. The training emphasized on writing headlines and news articles.

Starting May 2007, I joined Resettlement unit of UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. My tasks include interpretation during interviews, translation of different related subjects.

I also have clerical tasks; I'm a focal point for several referrals such as medical ones.

It has been an exciting experience working in this organization; dealing with refugees and employees of different cultures have widened my horizon. It also put me in touch with English native speakers who helped me in improving my language.
