Translation Volunteer

​

The Indigenous women of Guatemala speak 21 different regional languages. For many of these young women, the only time they speak or write Spanish is at school. The Kateri Tekakwitha Fund developed a Writing Program to help these young women learn Spanish writing skills that are critical to their future careers. During monthly meetings, staff members coach the young women as they practice their writing skills by writing letters to their sponsors.

 

Our Translation Volunteers translate these monthly letters from Spanish into English. Volunteers review and translate the letters on their personal computers from their homes, offices, local coffee shops, the beach, etc. Letters are mailed from our office in Pacifica monthly and are translated in order of priority based on when we receive them.
