UN Online Volunteering (Translating)

Translating Development Material from English to Korean

Community Empowerment Collective Society

TASK

We need some Korean translators for the material, intended to train international aid and community workers for their assignments in developing countries and to support their projects and development initiatives. Volunteers will need to translate the English documents into Korean. The more than 200 documents in out site are grouped into modules from 4 to 10 documents each, and we estimate one assignment as one module.

We encourage volunteers to stay on after one assignment to continue collaborating with us.

Number of volunteers: 5

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Our site has no advertising, no budget and no paid staff. Everyone who contributes to the group is a volunteer and we are spread all over the world. The statistics reveal that our pages get between 450,000 and 500,000 visits every month (almost 20,000 visitors a day).

OBJECTIVE

The free training material in our site is for community workers: it consists of strategies, methodology, curriculum, management and planning material useful to teams initiating or upgrading any community empowerment or development programme. Topics include poverty reduction, gender strategy, facilitation, income generation, capacity development, monitoring, brainstorm, community participation, social animation capacity development and strengthening. Our whole methodology is based on sustainable development and intended for using in developing countries and low-income communities.

REQUIREMENTS

Hours per week : 1~5
Duration in weeks : 8

UNV는 Field에서만 하는게 아니다. Online Volunteering 을 통해 언제 어디서나 UN의 일을 도울 수 있게 되어있다. 오랫만에 검색해보니 영어를 한국어로 번역하는 자원봉사자를 모집하고 있다. 해당 기관이 뭘 하는 기관인지는 사이트를 들어가봐도 잘 모르겠지만, UN에서 하는 일이기에 믿어도 될듯하다.

가입하고 Resume올리고 신청하면 연락이 온다. 단순히 번역이기 때문에 어렵지 않을 것 같고 5명을 모집하고 있다. UN기구에 진출하고자 하는 초석을 마련할 수 있는 아주 작은 기회가 아닐까 싶다.
뿐만 아니라 여가시간을 활용해서 전세계를 위해 일한다는 ? 사명감도 키울 수 있지 싶다. 다만 . 해당 기관에 이미 번역되어있는 자료들이 매우 허접하다는 것이...

더 많은 자원봉사자가 필요할 것 같다.
