Latin American Regional Council

At the Latin American Regional Council I interpreted for several speakers from Spanish to English, something I’ve discovered I really enjoy. While listening to the speaker from Samaritan’s Purse do an incredible job interpreting for himself I learned some subtleties – for example, local in Spanish is often best translated as grass roots, something which I hadn’t thought of at first.

However, I thought I had good posture, which these photos clearly refute! Here I am interpreting for my supervisor and for the head of Compassion International in the Dominican Republic, Kleber Lora.

Here I am talking about the exciting goings-on in Argentina – there’s a photo of Horacio and Silvia in my PowerPoint.
