Help Community Keepers with 5 volunteers for translation, proofreading and editing
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We create age appropriate material for learners from Grade 1 to matric and translate it into as many languages as possible. We also produce material for educators and parents. Currently we focus on English, Afrikaans and Xhosa - but we would love to add more languages so that no one is excluded. We are therapists - not copywriters - but if we pool our skills/talents we can produce really appealing and effective resources. Examples include infographics for whatsapp messages, activity books and posters. If you have other ideas - we'd love you to share. All of our resources are used across our 29 partner schools (25 000 learners). We reason that if resources have been created and funded - they belong to everyone - so we have a library where any school, organisation or family can use our material at no charge.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
