Translators in Mitilini, Greece

not translators (sorry!!) -- but we're crowdfunding to buy sanitary products and underwear: https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/solidaritywithlesvos any bit helps, incl. just sharing the page!

For those without language skills, there is a volunteers phrase list here: www.bit.ly/volphrase. Pretty crude, but a start. And printable versions of the IRC info (www.refugeeinfo.eu) at bit.ly/ircenglish, bit,ly/ircfarsi, bit.ly/ircarabic.

http://www.metadrasi.org/eng/ Metadrasi has translation services too.it is their main area of work.

Desiree Stewart, donate it to her if you want. She is going to Lesvos soon

aha, this time it worked with a pdf! so for the meantime til we can get better quality translations, I'll make a set of bitly links for this too, starting with- http://bit.ly/AsylPrepArab

I know of refugees and people who are still stuck in war zones, who are translators looking for paid work, if you or anyone can help? You can also try: Refugee Translation Team Dresden, Techfugees, https://www.facebook.com/685846434791882 Right to Remain toolkit: http://www.righttoremai https://www.facebook.com/147770325246235 n.org.uk/toolkit/index.html Also see the ICOON global picture dictionary http://icoonforrefugees.com/

This is supposedly the active volunteers on Lesvos who speak Arabic (though I'm on the list, and not there...so that gives you an idea how accurate it might be -- plus of course it's only people who have signed up at the site; I'm sure there are loads more). Still--you just need one, right? http://greecevol.info/people.list.php?tag%5B160%5D=1&tag%5B12%5D=1&tag%5B88%5D=1&filter=set&mysearch=&sort=name

Always.. First stop, I suggest the FB Group Rapid Response Refugee Translators. Then the website GreeceVol.info. Among the wealth of information there is what is known about the national composition of the demographics in different mainland Greek centres..

Arabic - English how about Neda Kandri

Joanna Tsoni.... I can't tag Joanna but if she can PM me so we can chat a bit more

Rapid Response Refugee Translators is a Facebook group for this, if this doesn't work out. (Sorry, can't tag on my tablet.)

Have you tried the "Rapid Response Refugee Translators" FaceBook group? If your Afghan contacts can read -- Farsi and Pashto are very close when written down. A Farsi\English bilingual can help..
