Support for Wokai (Re: I need your help!)

[Laura Du]

Hi everyone,

I introduced myself earlier but I'm a sophomore at Princeton and Co-President of Princeton GCC - I've worked with Wokai through their Beijing headquarters in the past, and it's a great organization. In doing translation for them, I also read many touching stories of micro-entrepreneurs in rural China, close to home and heart. Julia is fantastic, as is the rest of the Wokai team. 

Just wanted to add my support to Wei Wu's and would encourage anyone interested to get involved!

Hope summer is going well!

Best,

Laura

Hello, everyone, I'm Wei Wu, a rising senior from Purdue University.I just joined GCC Central, Media Divison this summer. I'm a translation volunteer for Wokai,a non-profit microfinance organization.Now they need 2-3 more people to help with reviewing editing their translated borrower profiles.  If you are a native English speaker, intermediate to fluent in Chinese and have professional editing/translating experience, please get in touch (julia...@wokai.org).

p.s. You don't need to work in their office, someone will email you the document.

Here is some background information about Wokai.If you want to know more, you can go to Wokai's website: www.wokai.org.

Hi, Wei, I'd love to offer some help with the reviewing editing work for Wokai.

The problem is that I am not a native English speaker, am I OK to be recognized? (I had such translation reviewing experience)

Regards.
