GiveWord Gives Back: Linguistic Assistance for Haiti

 

aLanguageBank would like to express our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families of the recent earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Please know that our thoughts are with you and all the victims who have been affected by this terrible tragedy.

To help with the disaster relief efforts, aLanguageBank has launched GiveWord, a new initiative that seeks to provide free professional language services to efforts related to charitable and non-profit organizations working on disaster relief. Our latest project, GiveWord Haiti, has been recruiting professionally distinguished linguists who are ready to volunteer their linguistic services to those charitable organizations and non-profits who are in need. As of late, we have received an overwhelming response from our linguists in Haitian Creole, French, and Spanish ready to work with GiveWord Haiti. We are also seeking to service charitable and non-profit organizations who provide aid to the disaster relief efforts but are unable to afford professional language services.

Please note GiveWord only accepts labor donations and any monetary donations will be returned.

A special thanks to Bernn Jules and Alex Pradel for all their efforts on GiveWord Haiti.
