[Guinea-list] Looking for a Toma speaker

[Lillian Dalke]

Dear Friends of Guinea,

 

I work for a program that helps asylum seekers in the New York City
region find pro bono legal representation.

 

We have a client who speaks only Toma who is having difficulty
communicating with her lawyers.  We are looking for someone who is
fluent in both Toma and English to translate between them over the
course of her case.  The law firm will compensate the interpreter for
his or her services, and the time commitment is several meetings to be
scheduled at a mutually convenient time over the course of the next few
months.  They would like the interpreter to begin as soon as possible,
as they are currently communicating via two interpreters (Toma to French
and French to English).

 

Please let me know if you know of anyone who might be interested and
available to assist with this.  Please feel free to forward my contact
information.

 

Thank you!
