English to Spanish: World Habitat Awards finalist - Intercultural Neighbourhood General field: Other Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English Focusing on developing housing and intercultural communal living between the indigenous Mapuche community and impoverished creole communities. To date, this project has built 56 houses on land that returned to the Mapuche community by the government. Communities have elaborated the site development plan, the community cohabitation rules and have carried the construction of housing and other facilities (including a workshop and community room, a green house and vegetable garden) and the provision of water and energy.
Project Description
The Intercultural Neighbourhood is within an area of land of approximately 400 hectares known as Plot 27. It is three kilometres from the centre of the city of San Martin de los Andes in Argentina. The owners of the land were the indigenous Mapuche Curruhuinca community but the land had been occupied by the Argentinian military. The Curruhuinca community started a proposal for the restitution of their land in 2004. They achieved success in 2011 when a law was passed by the National Government handing back ownership to the Curruhuinca community (National Law 26.725).
The partnership between the Curruhuinca community and Vecinos Sin Techo has focused on developing a joint response to the housing crisis by planning and driving the development of legislation and resources that support the urbanisation of the area.
The environmentally sustainable Intercultural Neighbourhood created is an approach to providing decent and peaceful communal living. It has gone through several stages in order to achieve this aim:
starting from the recognition of the community’s ancestral right to the territory and respecting cultural and environmental diversity;
delivering urbanisation on community-owned land;
striving for sustainability in terms of food and energy production, use and management through appropriate technologies.
Of the approximately 400 hectares, almost 300 are used by the Mapuche community and 110 are distributed as follows: 77 for the Intercultural Neighbourhood and 33 for the local authority.
Since 2014, 56 houses have been built and another 100 are currently under construction. About 200 local people have been allocated the first 56 houses, of which 20 are now inhabited and housing is planned for another 1,000 people who will live in the neighbourhood.
By the end of 2017, 156 houses will be finished and the training and management structure will be in place to complete a total of 250 by the end of Stage 1. The time schedule for a second stage is not yet in place.

Descripción del Proyecto
Vecinos Sin Techo trabaja en un terreno de aproximadamente 400 hectáreas conocido como Lote 27. Se encuentra a tres kilómetros del centro de San Martín de los Andes en Argentina. Los legítimos dueños de la tierra son la comunidad originaria Mapuche Curruhuinca, pero la tierra había sido ocupada por las fuerzas armadas argentinas. La comunidad Curruhuinca comenzó a pelear por la restitución de sus tierras en 2004. Tuvieron éxito en 2011 cuando el Gobierno Nacional aprobó una ley que le cedió la propiedad a la comunidad Curruhuinca (Ley Nacional 26.725).
La asociación entre la comunidad Curruhuinca y Vecinos Sin Techo se ha enfocado en desarrollar una respuesta conjunta a la crisis de vivienda a través del planeamiento y puesta en marcha del desarrollo de legislación y recursos que apoyan la urbanización de la zona.
El Barrio Intercultural ambientalmente sostenible es un enfoque para la provisión de vivienda decorosa y la convivencia pacífica. Ha atravesado muchas etapas para lograr esta meta:
comenzando por el reconocimiento del derecho ancestral de la comunidad al territorio y respetando la diversidad cultural y ambiental;
impulsando la urbanización en tierras de propiedad comunitaria;
buscando la sostenibilidad en cuanto a la producción, uso y gestión de alimentos y energía, a través de tecnologías apropiadas.
De las aproximadamente 400 hectáreas, casi 300 son utilizadas por la comunidad Mapuche y 110 se distribuyen de la siguiente manera: 77 para el Barrio Intercultural y 33 para el municipio.
Desde 2014 se han construido 56 viviendas y otras 100 están actualmente en construcción. Las primeras 56 casas han sido asignadas a alrededor de 200 personas de la zona, de las cuales 20 ya se encuentran habitadas y se planea construir vivienda para otras 1.000 personas que vivirán en el barrio.
Para finales de 2017 se habrán completado 156 viviendas y existirá la capacitacitación y estructura de gestión para completar el total de 250 para finales de la Etapa 1. El cronograma para la segunda etapa no ha sido aún definido.

Bio
I am a native Spanish speaker with over eight years of experience working in the International Development/charity sector in English-speaking countries, focusing on effective communications and translations in order to reach wider audiences, mostly in Latin America.
I have worked with international organisations, including translating content for UN events and initiatives - I have translated all documents and information for the World Habitat Awards for the last four years.
My experience in the international development/charity sector (including a MSc in the area from the UK) and background in communications put me in an ideal position to effectively translate documents related to the sector, where I am knowledgeable of the jargon and cultural differences/nuances in the Spanish-speaking world.
I am a responsible individual, able to meet tight deadlines and produce high quality translations whilst adjusting to the time requirements of your organisation.
