Here is a link I found to an interesting-looking film by a Guinean director.
In French. I doubt it will playing here in Denver.

I recently saw the film at the AFI's  African Film festival in Washington,
DC.   It was excellent and I highly recommend it....there are English
subtitles.

Dear Friends of Guinea,

 

Human Rights First is looking for a country conditions expert on Guinea
to provide an affidavit of support and testify in support of the asylum
claim of one of our clients.  The client is scheduled for his individual
(final merits) hearing on June 24, 2008.  If you are a scholar whose
area of research includes Guinea and you might be able to assist in this
time frame, please contact me with your CV at the information below,
which I will forward to the client's attorneys.

 

If you are a scholar who will not be able to assist on this particular
case but might be interested in being contacted about future cases, I
would appreciate hearing from you, as we handle a large number of cases
from Guinea.

 

Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.

 

Best wishes,

Subject: [Guinea-list] Job as Susu translator -- US Citizens only
Message-ID: <907136.59250.qm@web30801.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

The government contracting organization SOS International
(http://www.sosiltd.com/) is seeking a US Citizen to
translate some Susu text.  

The pay rate is $40/hour.  You would be emailed audio and
text in Susu, and you would respond with an emailed
translation.
 
Unfortunately the job does require that the translator be a
US Citizen.
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please
contact Joshua Parker at joshua.parker at sosiltd.com with any
questions.

Stephanie
