John -
Pulling off a global event like the Renew Our Power Gathering isn't easy. It involves a lot of expenses... many that most people wouldn't think about. One of those unexpected costs is the salary for interpreters.
Hiring an interpreter to do simultaneous translations costs an average of $80 per hour.
And when you count the number of workshops and trainings we are running — along with the number of languages we are hoping to translate — the costs add up quickly.
Right now, we are planning to offer simultaneous translation in Spanish, French, and Portuguese for as many sessions as possible. But here's the thing:
If we receive a surge of online donations today, we can offer simultaneous translations for all the sessions to ensure the program is fully accessible to all of the participants. What do you say, John?
The more events where we can offer simultaneous translations, the more ideas can be exchanged, and the faster we can build renewable energy in communities all over the globe.
Any amount that you can donate will mean so much to all of the participants of the gathering. So thanks for chipping in what you can.
In solidarity,
Débora Gastal
Associate Director Languages and Editorial
